A male bluebird started the day with seeds and a female with barkbutter balls. A Carolina wren chose suet. A blue jay also had barkbutter and got into an argument with another blue jay. The other bird might have been its parent. Teenage birds are pushy.
There were fewer soaring dragonflies and more perching. I think one with blue eyes and a yellow abdomen was a female great blue skimmer. A male perched part way up a more distant bamboo stake. A red eyed female bar winged skimmer used a smaller stake until it was in the shade. Then she moved to the rose where the female great blue had been. I tried to photograph wasps but they mostly did not cooperate.
One or more brown headed nuthatches kept the seed feeder occupied. A skink roamed around the dry birdbath. The wind strengthened in the afternoon again. Despite the intense sunshine, the temperature stayed in the 70s. Wispy cumulus passed East in an intensely blue sky. In the evening something more like a bar cloud picked up sunset color.
