A glorious day

The regulars came to the feeder while the hummers checked out the refreshed juice but didn't settle in for a drink.  Lots of wasps buzzed around but not other insects.  The portulaca blooms looked lovely to me but not to bugs.  A tailless skink ventured across the patio.

In the afternoon I saw one titmouse come to the feeder.  The night heron stalked along the shore again.  A black swallowtail laid eggs on the rue.  A twelve spotted skimmer hunted overhead.  An osprey passed by headed West.  From the pool I was able to see two foxes just outside their den under the neighbors' deck. Some clouds occluded the sun at times. Since I cut off the rotting sunflowers some of the lower buds have opened.
