Right after sunrise a flicker and a female towhee showed up along with the usual feeder crowd. The flicker stayed down in the mulch and the towhee in the rosemary. Doves hung around. I saw a blue jay cruise through the yard and an egret reflected in the creek. Here's the creek reflecting the sunlit bank through the dogwood and saltbushes.
When I came home a butterfly was fluttering around the lantana. I can't be sure but I think it was a red admiral. The sky clouded over in the late morning despite the predicted sunshine. Titmice visited at lunch. Several great blue herons flew East overhead toward the Western Branch. I startled a squirrel making off with a pecan. It dropped the nut and watched me. Then, when I didn't move, it came back and picked the nut up and scampered. There's been no sign of the infected finch.
