Goldfinches returned to the sunflower. Considering all the sunflower seeds I have planted to no avail, it's amazing how much entertainment this accidental plant has provided. And the plant continued to open small flowers.
There were plenty of mosquitoes to feed the dragonflies! A bar winged skimmer took the top position on one of the perches and a widow skimmer stayed near the bottom. Both were female. Eventually the widow got the top spot as the other dragonfly relocated. Another dragonfly perched on the the dried gladiolus stalks. I couldn't get a good look at it but I believe it was a four spotted pennant.
A red spotted purple landed in a dogwood, then explored the sakaki bush. The usual wasps and bees feasted on the mountain mint. A little green frog was in the skimmer again.
The bluebird twins returned to eat mealworms under their father's watchful eye.. A white breasted nuthatch made several forays for seeds. Titmice did the same, competing with cardinals and house finches. Then a Carolina wren joined the others at the seed feeder. Sunset colored the whole sky.
