Bright sun, low 80s, breezy - perfect weather! I was online in the morning but got outside in the afternoon. There were lots of butterflies, a sulphur, tiger and black swallowtails, something orange I think was a fritillary, and an orange skipper I think might be a dion skipper. Euphyes dion. A female common whitetail dragonfly hunted low to the ground. A cicada killer prowled the dogwood. A dead skink floated in the pool, as did a live green frog. A live skink rushed across the patio. I also found a drowned centipede.
Blue jays were so silly I'm convinced they were fledglings. They were very curious about the inside of the house. A Carolina wren, a female goldfinch, and a mockingbird visited. The molting mockingbird looked like a zombie. A fledgling bluebird wanted barkbutter balls. Through a window screen I saw a hummer feeding.
