It was mostly blue sky and sunshine once the fog evaporated from the windows. A male goldfinch came for a drink from the ant moat. There were more butterflies today. I saw a variety of swallowtails and several orange butterflies.
The creek was quite placid. Hummingbirds were not. They had glaring contests and chases. And in between they fussed at the bigger birds. One actually chased a chickadee. Dragonflies perched on every available upright twig. Skinks were out in the warmth.
A titmouse was back at the seed feeder in the late afternoon. At twilight, a juvenile cardinal beginning to turn red popped out of the undergrowth and took to the feeder. The newspaper's nature column was all about silk moths (Saturniidae) but all that came to our windows was a green stink bug.
