Breakfasting with us were a hummer, Carolina wrens, and a titmouse that joined the seed eaters. A mama house finch fed a fledgling on the feeder perch. The afterthought gladiolus spike began blooming. The patio peppers turned red.
In the afternoon, goldfinches visited, but something had torn up yet another sunflower. A yellow dragonfly zoomed all around in front of the patio door. It was a bit alarming to think there were that many bugs right there. Unfortunately it never slowed enough for me to identify. A female hummer quenched its thirst but a chickadee let me know the ant moat was dry. A male hummer visited the Mexican sage outside my office but I couldn't get a clear shot. A Halloween pennant clung to the top of the pine despite the wind, holding that perch for at least two and a half hours. It did make forays to snatch bugs but always came back.
