A female goldfinch was back but she couldn't find anything edible on the sunflower so she went off to try the wild cherries. I wonder what's become of the males and whether there are young ones. A Carolina wren was obscured by vegetation.
The butterfly milkweed bloomed again and also had seed pods. I checked the milkweed in the front yard - no flowers, pods, or caterpillars. A swallowtail fussed around the rue. A carpenter bee dangled from a morning glory tendril as though it were ensnared. I evicted the frog again.
At least four blue jays came after barkbutter balls. They must be sibling fledglings, the way they behave together. The fledgling cardinal was becoming quite red. A female hummer fed but I suspect I should put out fresh juice tomorrow. A Carolina wren poked through the trough of the seed feeder. A dove foraged beneath. Then the wren was joined by another on the barkbutter dish.
