Bright sunshine

At breakfast, the creek was a glowing mirror.  A mockingbird scowled from the hummingbird feeder hanger.  Maybe its loose feathers itched.  I did not see a hummer this week.  The feeder might attract a migrant but the local nesters must have have gone South.  The adolescent male cardinal was still begging food from his poor tired mother.  

A cloudless sulphur flew past and a red spotted purple landed on a dogwood branch.  The purple had a notch bit out of one wing.  A kingfisher rested atop one of the posts on the neighbor's floating dock.  I accidentally caught a fish jumping as I photographed the bird!
