The newspaper's weather page must have been for some different day. This one began sunny and warm and ended in cold mist. A bluebird was up early. it is easy to imagine they are showing expressions when they face front. A squirrel found the dried up cinquefoil I had pulled up the other day and appeared to eat the root crown. Cinquefoil is structurally similar to strawberry. I like it but it was getting out of hand.
It was warm and sunny so I spent time outside after breakfast. I was going to move the hummer feeder but a little spider was busy under the ant moat.
I saw a tiger swallowtail at lunch. By then the sky had clouded over. A myrtle warbler in summer plumage showed up, but the camera focused on the background. I caught it later in the wild cherry. A cardinal hunted something all over the wild cherry. Then all the birds went flying East. I don't know why, perhaps to harass a predator.
After that I went outside. It was a lot chillier than in the morning. A (first of season) great crested flycatcher hunted in the wild cherry. Then a blue jay did the same, confusing me as to whether I'd really seen a flycatcher. But I have proof! I guess the flowers were still attracting bugs even though they looked spent to me. A brown thrasher made off with bark butter balls.
