There was a little sun in the morning, but otherwise overcast prevailed. Insects were mostly missing. I did see one margined leatherwing beetle. A Carolina wren wanted a bark butter ball. A female bluebird thought about it.
A pine warbler came for a bark butter lunch. Afterward, I could hear a variety of birds but all I saw was the red headed downy, and the cardinals booting house finches and chickadees off the seed feeder.
Intermittent rain all afternoon brought the temperature down and left the air dank and chilly. At supper, a blue jay chased a cardinal off the bark butter balls only to discover they were all gone. It was a most unsatisfactory Midsummer Day.
