The air and water were calm when I got up, and the sky was blue. I refilled the bark butter balls at breakfast and immediately the blue jay started up with the 'betcha can't get a photo' game. Well I did. Bluebirds came too, and a starling. A feisty hummer chased a chickadee off the seed feeder. But I didn't see the hummer again.
A photo revealed spider mites on the rue. It will be a good trick to spray them without bothering the bees and wasps. And the honeybees were back but surprisingly few wasps. The West wind started up again and pushed the low tide even lower. I had given up on birds and was pulling weeds when a damselfly landed. My best guess is that it was an immature female Citrine forktail.
