Swallowtails

The mockingbird was an early visitor, as was a starling.  The female pileated woodpecker soon arrived.  And a female red bellied woodpecker also wanted suet.  

At lunch there were three black swallowtails flitting around the rue.  Wasps were bustling around.  The female pileated was back. 

Turtles basked in the bright sunlight.  A great blue heron flew past, then an egret, then an opinionated mallard drake.  I puttered with plants but the breeze was chilly even though the thermometer read 70°.
