New blue jays

A Carolina wren inspected everything.  A hummer investigated the new red leaves on the rose.  Eventually it found the feeder. 

Several blue jays seemed to me to be youngsters.  Their feathers looked clean and unworn and they didn't know how to land on the feeder dishes.  Then they were scared off by smaller bluebirds.  The young bluebirds had no trouble stuffing their beaks.

A fiery skipper joined the wasps and bumblebees on the mountain mint.   A hawk flew overhead.  A mockingbird landed on the feeder hanger and flashed its wings.  A grackle found the feeder dishes.
