Sunny

A Carolina wren looked at the mealworms but was startled off.  A hummer got breakfast, as did the usual seed feeder species.  The temperature was pleasant enough to have the window open. 

A skink with a long, wiggly blue tail scampered across the step and into a crack at lunchtime.  Egrets flew downstream.  Then I left for a meeting.  Both coming and going, I saw an occupant in the Lake Smith osprey platform. 

When I got home it was quite breezy.  I saw cardinals and chickadees and a male house finch.  Something serenaded us for a while, maybe the finch?  Crows flew over.  The bumblebee was back on the lavender and black-and-white wasps on the rue.
