I think it was warmer than predicted. A house wren paid an early visit. Later I went to the Farmers' Market for strawberries and bought a bunch of veggies plus seedling tomatoes and peppers.
A cloudless sulphur flitted past us as we ate lunch. A Carolina wren got into the bark butter balls. A titmouse seemed wary of something. The female bluebird gravitated to little feeder in the shade. A downy put on a show trying to perch on the BBB feeder in the sun.
I was in the front, potting the tomatoes and peppers and patient strawberry plants, where I had a good view of the bluebird nesting box. The male rewarded me by landing on the roof of the nesting box. A couple of skinks scampered away when they thought I wasn't looking.
Yellow jackets were busy under the cedar so I suspect a nest. It's a good location for them and us.
Potting complete, I retired to the back yard which displeased the female bluebird. She wouldn't come any closer than the maple. A Carolina wren had business under the azalea at the far end of the pool. High up in the oak a blue jay ignored me. A male red bellied woodpecker looked like it was anting up there.
A flock of gulls circled very high up - they were just dots. The moon was high in the late afternoon
