A titmouse and a male towhee visited the seed feeder this morning, along with the regulars. The male goldfinch got a drink form the hummer feeder. The hummer did too, but she got juice, not water. The brown thrasher was busy around the camellia. I heard jays, geese, and wrens. In fact, I heard honking geese throughout the night through the open windows. The sun shone through clouds. Bees bumbled about. An egret stalked along the bulkhead.
At lunch time, I was outside tuning hotdogs and listening to a towhee up in a tree in the front yard. A sort of echo was coming from the back yard cherry. The male towhee flew back to the cherry to investigate. Out popped a mockingbird that fled into the trees. Meanwhile the wrens carried on with their house and a jay flew by squalling. Later while we were eating, a bird tried to get into the wren house. I suspect it was a cowbird. It did not fit through the hole.
There was a gorgeous smoky sunset with lots of rose and gold. Just before dark, I got around to planting the moon flower seeds I'd soaked. I threw them all in one hole as they were "packed for 2013," and who knows if any will germinate.
