The common yellowthroat returned for breakfast but there wasn't enough light for the camera. I saw a bird by the fall webworm mess in the cherry but it was obscured by leaves. A titmouse visited the feeder briefly.
Several squirrels had sores from scratching where warble flies had laid eggs. The maggots develop under their skin and apparently itch a lot. However, it is not supposed to cause permanent harm. The sky was back to gray and a spit of rain hit the window after breakfast, but wind gusts dried it quickly.
I thought a bird that flew downstream might be a hawk but it was gone before I could be sure. Small carpenter bees were busy in the rosemary in the light rain. The regulars visited the feeder.
