More bugs than birds

A tiger swallowtail, a fritillary, and a cabbage butterfly are dancing  in the air.  Lots of wasps are looking for dark nooks.  A skink scuttled over to the pool and back.  Squirrels have been to the birdbath since I put water in it.  And the usual suspects have visited the feeder.  It's summer weather - hot & blue with the promise of thunderstorms.

Lunch brought a Carolina wren and a female towhee with little orange - immature?  A dragonfly cruised while a palamedes swallowtail and (I think) a red-spotted purple flitted around the same cherry that the tiger swallowtail was egging earlier.
