I glimpse a goldfinch at breakfast. A mockingbird worked on the caked barkbutter crumbs. (The rain shower yesterday dampened the dish.) The male red belied woodpecker snooped around the base of the post before ascending to the suet. A bluebird and a Carolina wren ate seeds. A squirrel washed its face and fluffed its tail.
I went out after lunch to enjoy the beautiful day. A yellow jacket queen hunted a desirable location. A bluebird brought what looked like a spider to feed the nestlings. Then in the back yard, the hummer and I startled each other. I was sitting too close to the feeder when he arrived and he was gone before I could lift the camera.
A mockingbird wanted barkbutter balls bad enough to ignore me. A black swallowtail, a cabbage white, and many wasps flitted around. The butterfly milkweed emerged from the mountain mint. Despite a cardinal's arrival, a bluebird kept her place on the seed feeder. A blue jay eventually risked a visit. After I went back inside, the male red bellied woodpecker returned. A myrtle warbler all decked out for spring stopped by for some suet.
The pecan was in bloom finally. Blue flag irises were blooming too. A skink hurried across the corner of the patio. A white breasted nuthatch joined us at supper.
