Bright day

It was cool over night but it warmed up rapidly.  The male towhees rose up in the air fussing at each other - I think junior is on his own now.  A hummer came but was scared off when I moved.  And the usual suspects were here. 

Arthropods: wasps, a spider, dragonflies, a scarab beetle and a pine borer, a millipede, a biting fly, and some small brownish butterflies.  Tiny black beetles infest the sunflowers and leaf miners have begun to denude the hibiscus.  The skin of a grasshopper nymph also clung to a sunflower leaf.

The day has been breezy with fluffy clouds moving fast, not humid or too hot.  Nevertheless, one of the above bit or stung me in the pool. Because I was outside, only the chickadees were bold enough to visit the feeder.
