When we arrived yesterday, chickadees were on the feeder. It was chilly but sunny. Today, was more of the same, but the birds were scarce. The feral cat may have scared them away. The suet didn't look like much had been consumed but the mealworm dish was empty. Milkweed and morning glories were still blooming. I saw a great blue heron fly over pursued by crows. I suppose it had something tasty that they hoped to make it drop. A mallard pair glided past on the glittering water.
Cardinal males appeared mid day and continued their feud. A single crow chased a hawk across the corner of my view. Squirrels were everywhere while blue jays stayed in the oak. Something shot out of the beauty berry bush. I found a caterpillar on the rue, but none on the milkweed. Crickets and a grasshopper were stridulating out of sight while bees and moths flew around.
