The new bunny was mooching along the mulch, as was a squirrel. They met, and I'm not sure what the squirrel did, but the bunny levitated. When it came down, it glared at the squirrel who moseyed off nonchalantly. What drama!
I filled the hummer feeder with fresh sugar water and poured the old stuff into a dish which I stuck in the mulch (on the other side of the steps from the drama). My hope is that the wasps will prefer the dish. Later - no such luck! In the photo, the wasp is on the left side of the feeder.
It is sunny, c
ool and humid. Speaking of drama, the excitement over hurricane Irene has begun.
Hurricanes, hah! We just had an EARTHQUAKE. Otherwise it is a lovely day - the breeze has eliminated the humidity and it is more like June than August.
Today's birds: osprey, laughing gulls, geese (they didn't like the earthquake at all), bluejays, chickadees, titmice, cardinals, house finches, crows, robins, hummingbirds, a sassy wren, and a reddish raptor - red shouldered hawk? Today's arthropods: wasps, dragonflies, a gray hairstreak and 3 flavors of swallowtail - black, giant, and tiger. Mating saddlebags paused on the perch. One frog in the pool.
