Blue jays and bluebirds feasted on the barkbutter balls. A Carolina wren scurried around on the ground. The female cardinal took over the seed feeder leaving the male to scrounge on the ground. What a change from winter.
Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Cold front
At breakfast, a bluebird gave me a dirty look so I refilled the dish feeders. I put out hummer juice as well since it was so much cooler. Then I spent the morning cooking. After lunch, I dithered a while but finally decided to get in the water. The air at 72° was cooler than the water at 78°. Yesterday the water felt brisk, today warm. The wind was still pushing clouds from West to East but a cold front went through last night. A dragonfly passed overhead while I was in the water. I rescued (evicted) four spiders I suspect were male wolf spiders. They were able to run on the surface of the water which makes me nervous. I saw a honeybee on the rue again.
