Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Sunshine and thunderheads
A fox plodded past us at breakfast, headed home after an night of hunting I suppose. Titmice and a hummer visited in the middle of the morning. The wrens came and went and a couple of blue jays passed through. A cabbage white flitted around. Then I ran around on errands and saw a great blue heron soar across the road. A fledgling chickadee huddled outside the florist.
Lunch was hand-held and sticky so naturally lots of birds showed up while I couldn't touch the camera. A downy woodpecker apparently hoped for more suet, but not in this heat. A white breasted nuthatch came just once for a seed. The titmice were back along with the regulars. Chickadees have been getting drinks from the birdbath. Osprey alighted in the pines across the creek after I'd washed my hands.
