Late bunnies

Two rabbits were out and about this evening. Early in the morning, a squirrel was on top of the feeder licking or nibbling all around its roof - what's up with that?

This summer is the first time I've put much effort into identifying dragonflies. I love the names: skimmer, chaser, pond hawk, meadow hawk, pennant, darter. There are very helpful identification sites online, though that really depends on having a photo to compare as the computer is not as portable as a field guide.

While there are still blueberries, at this point the birds are eating them before they are fully ripe. Meanwhile the figs have begun to ripen - I picked a pint and left plenty for the birds.
