Fireflies at last

I missed recording yesterday.  The goldfinch pair came back. A punk male cardinal was down to two crest feathers.  The orchard spider tended its web.  A blue jay demanded barkbutter balls.  The weed I tried to identify got tall enough to block my view of the feeder perch.  A blue dasher hunted from the top of a bamboo stake. 

A little rain fell overnight and left every surface wet.  But by breakfast, the creek smoothly reflected the sunlit bulkhead.  The male pileated woodpecker came in search of suet.  Then a brown thrasher landed on the dish of barkbutter balls hanging by the downspout.  It was displaced by a mockingbird.  A blue jay followed.  They don't like that dish as well as the other because it swings more.  When evening came I saw fireflies for the first time this season.
