That hard-working little bird cleaned the backyard of twigs and dried stems. Hummers hit the juice. Blue jays discovered the fresh supply of bark butter balls. Blue dashers perched and hovered.
Egrets were around but mostly behind vegetation. Geese made several attempts to invade. A juvenile night heron posed as it hunted crabs. I saw a tiger swallowtail, a duskywing, and some orange butterfly. .Something ate all the cherry leaves on the top twigs, probably a tiger swallowtail caterpillar.
A pine warbler suddenly appeared after months without a sighting. And just as suddenly, left. Some passing clouds were lightly colored by sunset but nothing spectacular. I got curious about which birds might use a nestbox and found this wonderful resource.
