Hot and dry

I caught sight of the male bluebird at the nestbox.  The wrens also were domestic.  Hummers were more into territoriality, chasing each other away from the feeder.  An egret watched the dam outfall. 

Caterpillars were having a hard time finding any uneaten parsley.  Blue dashers and saddlebags dragonflies and snout butterflies found perches while scoliid and digger wasps and soldier beetles ate mint. 

The male goldfinch visited again.  But the house finch males got into quite a fight in the air.  The winner then bullied all the other birds that wanted seeds.  Blue jays continued to defeat my attempts to photograph them.
