It was lunchtime before I got to see any wildlife. A brown headed nuthatch ignored me. Wasps hunted, as did dragonflies. The only way I could catch the fliers in a photo was against blue sky. One was a twelve spotted skimmer. Others had unmarked wings. A beautiful painted skimmer, Libellula semifasciata perched briefly
A commotion in the trees heralded a great crested flycatcher. A bluebird found the barkbutter balls. A cardinal male perched on the feeder hanger and fluttered his wings like a fledgling asking for food. A skink scampered out of sight.
I cut away the moldy half of a clementine and put the nice half outside for the birds. Instead, a squirrel discovered it. The rodent would eat a bit then wander off then come back. Eventually nothing was left but fragments of rind.
