Again, a female goldfinch came to breakfast, quickly followed by a Carolina wren.The sky was a hazy abstract of cloud wisps and contrails.
In the afternoon, the blue jays demanded more food and I gave in. One did the feed-me shivers up in the cherry tree. But clearly, the parent birds are done with that. I think I might be able to hand-feed these blue jays, though I don't know if that's wise. I saw hummers but got no photos.
A colorful little bug was sitting on the chair arm, so I immortalized it. A fat monarch caterpillar munched on the butterfly milkweed. A blue dasher obelisked atop a leafless twig on the wild cherry. A duskywing skipper fed on the mountain mint. The bees and wasps mostly left it alone unlike the smaller fiery skippers that they annoy.
