Then the cardinals and finches arrived and squabbled over the feeder. Doves, juncos and a white-throat foraged below while a mockingbird and blue jays worked the berry bushes. A couple of herons passed by headed upstream.
At lunch, crows pursued a raptor - not sure what, but very creamy on the underside. At least one kingfisher was working the creek. I was just thinking how greatly reduced the insect population was post-Sandy when a cabbage butterfly appeared. Of course bees and wasps are still around but spiders have disappeared.
The day warmed up nicely and stayed blue. Sunset gilded wisps of cirrus cloud.
