Ruby throat

The blueberries were still worth harvesting and I left the small ones for the birds.  Blue jays were more interested in cherries today.  The hummers got a fresh feeder and they noticed right away.  They had drunk the previous one dry.   The male came in the afternoon but was scared off by some house finches.  He returned as we were eating supper. 

A saddlebags cruised patiently over the pool all afternoon.  A bar winged skimmer perched on a high oak twig.  A dark butterfly flew out of the top of the oak.  Blue dashers and another skimmer perched down on my level.  So did a dragonfly with colored wings at the creek's edge. The Argiope was still in the same spot but I didn't see any signs of it capturing anything.
