The creek was quiet under a hazy sky. Hummingbirds fought over access to the feeder. A juvenile bluebird watched from the feeder hanger but didn't figure out how to get a meal.
Blue jays flocked to the barkbutter balls but a female red bellied woodpecker wanted them too. At least two brown headed nuthatches made repeat trips for seeds. A white breasted nuthatch joined them.
I got just a glimpse of a great crested flycatcher up in the cherry tree. A Carolina wren foraged on the ground. A female downy woodpecker came to see if the suet had returned but only found the hummer feeder.
Some kind of swallowtail was flitting around. I caught two skinks and three frogs in the pool. Around 3:30pm ugly clouds moved out of the South but no rain fell.
