Bluebirds, the brown thrasher pair, a Carolina wren, a starling, and of course downy woodpeckers visited the suet. Cardinals and chickadees preferred sunflower seeds. A female hummer made a short stop at her feeder. The mockingbird ran through its repertoire while hidden in the pecan tree.
The thermometer said the water was 74°. I rescued a spider and a tan weevil. An osprey flew over. A small, pale butterfly flitted among the trees about twenty feet up. I'm guessing it was some kind of azure or hairstreak. Wasps bustled around the rue, the birdbath, and the gutter.
While I was in the front yard the rabbit hopped past me, again headed for the neighbors' yard. The pepper plants were flowering and starting peppers. Lots of seeds came up but it looks like only one sort germinated.
