A Carolina wren came for breakfast. The cardinal looked silly on the hummer feeder. A pair of goldfinches dropped in.
The male downy woodpecker worked on the bark butter at lunch time. A hot South wind blew us up to 98.6°F. The humidity was higher as well. At some point in the afternoon, the bark butter melted and spilled on the hibiscus leaves.
I saw my favorite wasp, the great golden digger, amongst many other kinds of insect on the rue. There were hover flies, greenbottle flies, and one big dark fly, honeybees, bumblebees, carpenter, leafcutter, and tiny sweat bees, paper, mason, and blue mud wasps, and a yellow jacket.
A Canada goose family relaxed in the mouth of a drain pipe downstream. A blue jay flew at the BBB feeder instead of landing. It did not end well.
After dark, the moon rose round and bright behind the trees.
