In the morning, there was a pair of goldfinches. The male took over the feeder and I didn't see the female get anything. A downy woodpecker returned to the suet. A monarch butterfly was elusive even though it craved the milkweed. The orange daylily looked like it was down to its last two flowers, but the ruffled bi-color daylily was still going strong.
The pool was empty of any living thing but ants. After I got out, I was sitting beside the hummer feeder when I saw a male hummer on a dead twig at the top of the wild cherry. Meanwhile, a
prince baskettail (
Epitheca princeps) and maybe a saddlebags dragonfly were cruising overhead. And high aloft several birds floated past that were just silhouettes. The camera developed a problem and I lost the pictures of the soaring birds.
Brown headed nuthatches paid no attention to me. Two Carolina wrens arrived later during supper. A squirrel found where I dumped the hummer juice.
