It was a beautiful day even if the breeze from the Northeast was a bit chilly. It seemed like weeks since the wind came from any direction but West. A Carolina wren investigated all the feeders. Hummingbirds made frequent visits. Even the titmouse looked unkempt from molting.
The hibiscus was lovely. A female red bellied woodpecker pecked some barkbutter. A brown headed nuthatch made determined forays to get past bigger birds and seize a sunflower seed. A male pine warbler was disappointed that I hadn't refilled the barkbutter dish. The crazy nuthatch tried to raid the hummer feeder. Blue jays focused on the barkbutter balls. Other birds went after the immature acorns.
Mallards congregated on duckdock. I put three frogs out of the pool but I think there were dead ones in the stuffed skimmer. A black swallowtail laid eggs on the bolted stalk of parsley.
A mockingbird flashed its wings. The red bellied woodpecker basked on an oak limb. I found two of the hummer's guard posts. Blue jays acted silly in the trees.
