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.
