The hummers were hungry and there were several disputes over the feeder. Despite the heat, the dog insisted on several trips outside,Menacing clouds blew through and there were a couple of showers. (The prediction was way off the mark!) I missed getting a picture of the brown headed nuthatch.
Skippers returned to the mountain mint and a black swallowtail flitted around the rue. Mockingbirds were hungry enough to consider feeder food. Bluebirds looked disheveled from molting. I only glimpsed a goldfinch but a pine warbler.was willing to be photographed. Other birds wanted cherries. I suspected the blue jays of going after the blueberries. A whole family of titmice were at the sunflower seeds whenever cardinals let them.
Speaking of sunflowers, one had the beginnings of a bud. A skink ran across the steps. Brown May beetles and green Junebug beetles went for a swim. Two little frogs were in the skimmer.Despite their escape into the pool, they weren't hard to catch. I wish I could convince them to stay out because the pol chemicals kill them.
The evil fly tried to bite me as soon as I was out of the water. I had to go dripping into the house to get away. Bluebirds and pine warblers continued their feeder visits. A male towhee foraged under the feeder. A white breasted nuthatch preferred to stay up on the feeder.
