Gosling invasion

A brown headed nuthatch had fun with the upside-down suet.  The nuthatch also checked out the barkbutter and the sunflower seeds.  A Carolina wren also successfully ate suet.  A female bluebird was happy with the fresh barkbutter balls.  She looked worn out. 

Around lunch time geese brought their goslings to the pool.  It did not go well..  I learned that goslings turn into submarines when you try to help them out.  The geese and the dog set up an amazing commotion, drowning out the construction mess across the creek.  And of course the geese left poop all over.

A cabbage white butterfly investigated the violets.  A blue-tailed skink sauntered across the top step.  The neighbors' elderberry was in bloom. 

A yellow crowned night heron perched on one of the dock posts while the wind blew its crown feathers sideways.  The gusty wind kept the tide up, though the day was warmer and sunnier than expected.
