Light rain fell in the morning as we scrambled to get to an
appointment. We surprised the female bluebird with nesting material.
Of course there was no camera handy. After the appointment, I waited a
while for K and observed the shopping strip parking lot ecological
niche. A male English/house sparrow had a lovely bath in the gutter. A
crow watched from a street light. A laughing gull cruised over the
asphalt scanning for junk food. A bird I didn't recognize perched on a
light pole.
At home, I persuaded K to put out fresh
hummer juice which was very popular. One hummer chased another away, then kept watch from the dogwood. A blue jay came to see about bark
butter but it had turned to soup. A crow watched while a great blue heron and egrets, both great and snowy, fished
in the water rushing from the dam. I sat out front but never saw the
bluebirds again. A slug toured the window glass toward evening. The sky to the Northeast grew pink though the rest was still gray.
