The female bluebird was back at the seed feeder. Both sexes are more interested in seeds noe that we're adding a mix to the sunflower seeds. The female pileated made a brief stop but didn't find any suet. Blue jays found the barkbutter balls. An orange daylily bloomed. The hummer returned. A grown up skink put its head out, saw me, and retreated.
At last, today more Odonata appeared. Male and female blue dashers used the bamboo perches. As did a female common whitetail dragonfly (Plathemis lydia). A damselfly watched from the pool edge. Maybe that's why I wasn't bothered by an in-your-face bloodsucker? A small orange snout butterfly, an even smaller pale butterfly (probably an azure), and a black swallowtail explored the vegetation. Wasps searched everywhere. I rescued a ground crab spider Xysticus (sp) but I think I drowned a mother wolf spider with a ball of eggs.
