Another hot one

A couple of titmice queued up with the regulars.  A Carolina wren saw the mealworm dish was empty so I hurried to refill it but the wren didn't come back.  K swapped the hummer feeders which is possible now that we have two.  A hummer soon came to it.  An unusual looking bird was eating cherries.  It was a young robin with another behind it.

An entomologist friend pointed out that this is National Moth Week.  Who knew?  I saved another bristletail in the pool.  The female slaty skimmer was back and I also saw a big darner that never paused.  A black swallowtail visited the rue.  A yellow crowned night heron lurked in the dam outfall. A large reddish skink dashed under the rosemary.
