Lots of birds! House finches and doves kept fooling me into thinking I'd glimpsed something more interesting. At least two mockingbirds were hanging around because they got into a fight, chasing and screeching. One mockingbird was quite the connoisseur of beauty berries.
And then, when I thought the mockingbird had come back, it was a catbird. The red eyed vireo popped up, then a male oriole. I rushed some jelly out to bribe him, and while I was at it, I hung some suet up to see if yesterday's pileated woodpecker would return.
The warmth lured a skink across the steps. A mockingbird ate dogwood berries. A blue jay hid to enjoy its berry.
A monarch butterfly flew around in the trees, ignoring the milkweed which, admittedly, was not blooming. But neither were the trees. A Carolina wren fussed at me from the sakaki where it seemed to think it was hidden.
After dark, I took some moon pictures and got it passing behind a band of clouds.
