White throats were up early. I was rushed and didn't have time to really observe till lunch. Also, my eyes were dilated and the sunlight was really bright. Bluebirds arrived and split up among the feeders and the birdbath. A pine warbler scarfed up barkbutter crumbs. The white throats were still around. A female oriole appeared. K said the bird found the jelly.
Finally my eyes returned to normal so I went outside. The sky again had that dilute blue skim milk look in the afternoon. A handful of small birds flew over so very fast that they seemed like gray phantoms. I wasn't fast enough to capture them. I did capture a female kingfisher on the dock post because I heard the bird cackle. An egret flew downstream. The blueberry bushes had turned red. I smacked a late mosquito.
