Quiet

The cardinals, finches, and chickadees were cranky this morning.  A male downy woodpecker came to the suet periodically and Carolina wren got into everything.  Doves poked around on the ground.  Egrets flew over a glassy creek.

In the late afternoon, I watched moonflowers open.  A ladybird beetle with no spots prowled the moonflower and a big carpenter bee feasted on lavender. A juvenile eagle circled and a heron flew over.  Blue jays were busy in the oaks along with the squirrels.  Thin clouds made shapes as they flowed East.  The downy came back while I sat outside.

 The creek was unruffled but a light breeze got chilly.
