Not sunny

A mockingbird was first at the suet.  Then a white breasted nuthatch wanted some.  A cabbage white flirted with the mountain mint but a tiger swallowtail flew past without pausing.  There were a few tiny flowers on the mountain mint.  The rue was more appealing to bees and wasps.  A ladybird beetle hunted small prey.  The sunflower drew bees. 

In the afternoon, the scientists came to monitor the freshly planted spartina.  It was supposed to be all day sunshine, but the sky was mostly threatening clouds. Bluebirds found the barkbutter balls.  A hummer located the refreshed feeder but I was too close.  Leatherwing beetles migrated from the parsley to the mountain mint.  The bullfrog was back, enjoying the pool.
