Earth Day

Mockingbirds joined us at breakfast.  White throats were still on vacation.  A red bellied woodpecker worked on the remnants of suet.  Then I went off to tour of the Ryan Resilience Lab which is working on ways to adapt to rising sea level and mitigate its carbon footprint.  A lot of the tour was outdoors and hot, though cloudy.  Much of the outdoor work was quite new and there were saplings in tubs still to be planted.  

At lunch, the mockingbirds were back.  A blue jay joined them.  Then I had errands.  When I got back, a Carolina wren was trying to finish off the suet.  The wren also had seeds.  A light rain fell around 7pm.
