The sun brought temperatures up into the low 70s but the breeze was still a tad chilly, especially in the shade. Skinks dashed about. A painted lady flitted around. Honeybees and
wasps worked on the rue. The lake turtles were joined by a duck and a cormorant. And K got the necessary accessories to make my
new camera work!
Papa bluebird fed a speckle-breasted youngster on our roof, alas behind the window screen.
In other news, a starling and a red bellied woodpecker startled each other at the bark butter ball feeder and both fled. One or more wrens stayed ahead of my focus finger, as did a blue jay. A goldfinch streaked across the yard. A night heron preened while I was on Zoom and would have been rude to turn around to take pictures. (I saw it reflected in the screen.) A hummer zipped all around the patio, ignoring the feeder. Later when I was inside, it came and looked in the window, or possibly at its reflection. Cardinals courted, again. Geese escorted goslings. A brown headed cowbird landed on the steps.
