Cicada

A Carolina wren was up early.  So was a skink.  A squirrel showed too much interest in the suet.  Woe betide us if they get over their aversion to hot pepper.  A brown thrasher did not approve. 

I'd been hearing an occasional cicada for about a week but I saw my first one today.  It was still quite green.  The annual cicadas emerge later than the periodic.  The cicada landed on the feeder hanger, a rather risky spot.  Maybe it agreed because it didn't stay long.  The mountain mint was full of bees and wasps again.  A blue dasher lit on the suet feeder hanger.  A tiger swallowtail explored the wild cherry even as the birds ate cherries.
