Hazy became cloudy

I was up early enough to see a tinted sunrise.  But most of the morning I was inside.

At lunch, the cardinals, chickadees, and finches were joined by wrens, nuthatches and hummers.  One female finch is either injured or diseased - the left eye and foot appear non-functional and she huddles on the feed slots in a very bad temper. 

Butterflies and dragonflies were around all afternoon.  Something green and hummer-size that flew across the pool turned out to be a grasshopper, like the one I saw in the cherry last year.  A female common whitetail dragonfly hung out near the rosemary and an amberwing hid in the bush. Dogwood leaves are beginning to turn.
