Cloudy

Threatening skies didn't actually result in much precipitation.  The mockingbird continued its fly-by attacks on the suet.  Bluebirds were more sedate but they too wanted breakfast.  I was a bit late with the refills today.  Blue jays stuffed their beaks with barkbutter balls.  

A skink with a very long blue tail showed startling dexterity with it.  I should have taken a movie.  The lizard curled the tail back and forth in loops and squiggles.  I was amazed it had never lost any of that enticingly wriggling tail.  A cabbage white flitted around.  

The brown thrasher was back to hunt for spills from the feeders.  A pair of geese brought six goslings to eat grass.  One of the six was an explorer who has to run to catch up when the rest of them moved on.  Myrtle warblers found something in the saltbush.
