Persistent nuthatch

As I ate breakfast, a white breasted nuthatch repeatedly visited the feeder despite cardinals and chickadees and a titmouse.  The wrens continue flying too and from the birdhouse.  I hope I don't miss the fledglings this time!  It's the sort of gray day that birds seem to favor - not too wet or windy.

Then the sun came out in the middle of the morning. Cumulus piled up all over the sky.  A hummer visited in early afternoon. then a golden winged skimmer posed on the money plant stake.

Toward late afternoon the clouds were hustling ENE and the weather was hard to guess.  A female towhee prospected in the mulch.  A little brown wren chased a little black bug around the patio and finally ate it.  A flesh-eating fly spent some time sitting outside the window - creepy.
