Very warm

A blue jay was up very early.  The rising sun's light bounced off the far bank, then off the creek surface and into my eyes.  The creek was mostly flat all day and the sky cloudless.   Later, I saw a bluebird sitting on a dock post.  

The day warmed into the 70s.  A few wasps prowled around the rue.  At lunch, a Carolina wren joined us for barkbutter balls.  Some fallen sunflower seeds germinated, but much too late in the year.  In the late afternoon, all I saw were geese and an egret flying.
