Osprey

The overly fancy daylily began blooming, but had trouble getting its ruffles in order.  Two osprey circled together overhead.  That caused me to notice the crescent moon.   

I rescued a scarab, a ground beetle, and an Asian ladybird beetle  (Harmonia axyridis).  Also a baby cricket.  Spiders were back on the water.  Wasps also used the surface tension when they needed water to add to nesting material.  I saw a damselfly but it didn't linger.  A dragonfly hunted over the house roof.  

Blue jays hunted barkbutter balls and dispatched quite a few.  A mockingbird had the same idea.  A red bellied woodpecker was too coy for a good photo as it sunbathed on an oak limb.
