A Carolina wren was not happy with all the rain water in the feeder dishes. A molting bluebird scanned the area from the post. Then a fledgling bluebird appeared. It was quite polite about asking for food compared to house finch fledglings. But when mother showed up with mealworms, the fledgling gaped as wide as its head. I had just been reading that nature photography is being at the right place at the right moment when this happened!
A skink with no tail hid behind the downspout. Another crossed the steps to slip under the birdbath. The fledgling was curious about the food dishes but intimidated by a bee. A great golden digger wasp ignored everything but mountain mint. The monarch caterpillar continued to stuff itself with milkweed leaves.
Cumulus clouds built up to the Southwest. A hummer checked out the feeder and declined so I brought it in.
