The weather was sunny but windy. The temperature climbed from the 40s to the 60s. I did my part for Migratory Bird Day, I submitted two checklists. In addition to birds, I saw a couple of small skinks, honeybees on the rue again, an earthworm, a snail, a couple of isopods, a small rusty brown butterfly, and a crane fly in the wild, not on a window screen. Some. turtles were basking on the lake logs.
Great egrets were around all day and I believe I saw a yellow crowned night heron fly upstream. The bluebirds paid many visits to the bark butter balls. Carolina wrens joined then and I also saw a house wren poking into everything in search of food. A frustrated chickadee was kept from the sunflower seeds by a house finch. The male downy woodpecker checked in to see if the suet was back. A blue jay tried to sneak past me to the bark butter balls.
The wind calmed briefly before sunset. Clouds were colored cream to rose to smoke.
