White throated sparrows showed up at breakfast. An egret fished below the dam. As we were leaving in the morning, newly hatched insects (termites, I think), were rising from the retaining wall and dragon flies were zooming around picking them out of the air.
At lunch, a downy woodpecker ate suet. I saw two skinks - a blue tail near the door and an adult that darted under the pool cover. I also saw butterflies, but all I remember were a little spring azure and a sulphur. The geese brought their goslings to the pool cover puddle. K discouraged this. The white throats were back in the evening and two decided to bathe. Cardinals and chickadees monopolized the feeders. The wind was really strong by then, even though it was still warm.
