The pink evening primroses were blooming in the morning. Mama bluebird got a quick barkbutter snack. Canada geese parents escorted their four goslings downstream. A pair of mockingbirds picked up suet crumbs.
Kayackers paddled upstream and I went out hoping to photograph them coming back. I never saw them but I did see chickadees dangling from pine branches. Unfortunately they were right-side up in the photos. Birds were not very cooperative today. The blue irises had also begun to bloom. Skinks dashed about their business under the pool cover.
I went out front to see if I could see the bluebirds. One gloriously red strawberry was almost ready to pick. I found a centimeter-long praying mantis on the wall and moved it to the strawberries only to discover another had already begun guarding them. I did get to see the bluebirds ferrying bugs to their chicks.
