Firefly

More daylilies flowered.  An early bird pine warbler got some quality time with the suet.  A brown headed nuthatch was almost too short to get a drink.  Blue jays were greedy as usual.  

The day was very windy and not very warm, but there was enough sunshine to lure turtles out onto the basking log.  A mockingbird was not pleased that the birdbath was empty.  The mockingbird kept flashing (raising wings to show the white undersides) but I couldn't figure out what it meant.  I think it's supposed to be a warning?  Bluebirds made frequent fueling stops.  

After dark, a firefly landed on the window.  I waited for it to flash, but it flew first and all i saw was a receding spark.
