Yellows

In addition to the goldfinches on the sunflower, a pine warbler visited the suet.  Fiery skippers and a tiger swallowtail feasted on the aster flowers.  The swallowtail also sampled the mountain mint. 

A strange little bee staggered through the violet leaves as though it had gotten drunk on the rue.  But it was probably a leafcutter bee measuring where to cut. The bellflower resin bee, Megachile campanulae, seemed to fit.  Its back legs were loaded with pollen. 

After dark a moth was attracted to the window.
