Male hummingbird

A Carolina wren had breakfast with us on what remained of the suet.   At lunch there were three hummingbird visits and at least two were a male.  It may have been the same bird.  

The hibiscus was covered with blooms but I also saw a Japanese beetle and a sawfly attacking the plant.  The canna also started blooming.  A blue dasher monitored the pool from the tip of a daylily bud.  T saw a new kind of wasp among the honeybees on the mountain mint.  The great golden digger wasp was back.  Thank goodness the greenhead was not!
