Cloud streaked sky

The birds (regulars & titmice) were confused by the absence of the feeder which was getting disinfected.  The squirrel with the white spot knew where the sunflower seeds were but could not get into the bucket.  A mourning dove poked around for a bit.  A blue jay ignored the whole thing and went after acorns.  A mockingbird preferred dogwood berries.  Unfortunately, the infected bird is still around.  I don't know what to do about that. I was advised to catch the bird and take it to a rehabber.  Well, I can try.

At lunch al fresco, a skink wandered along the mulch and a skipper visited the rosemary.  Chickadees visited the nice, clean feeder but a cardinal ate dogwood berries instead. 

Honeybees continued to find the rosemary.  The salt bush has begun blooming.
