Road trip

I went to Williansburg today to a meeting.  Before I left, titmice and a Carolina wren visited the feeder.  On the way, I saw a pretty vine with white flowers that looked like four-point stars.  Also sumac was blooming.  Coming back, I saw a long-tailed hawk, probably a sharp-shin as it was quite small.  At Linda's, I saw a juvenile night heron in the creek.

At home, ten or more house finches congested the feeder.  Blue jays flew across the yard.  Cardinals and chickadees couldn't get a turn at the feeder.  Neither could a female goldfinch but a Carolina wren found an opening.  A hummer decided it was all too much and visited the lavender instead.  A male towhee foraged on the ground.
