There was sunshine but not much blue sky and it was not warm enough to lure me outside. A bandit-faced yellow rumped warbler paused on its migration to stock up on barkbutter balls. I believe it must have wintered farther South because it has been weeks since I saw the ones that wintered here. Anyway, its summer plumage was evident. The white throats lingered.
Blue jays, bluebirds, the red belly, and a mockingbird couldn't stay away from the barkbutter balls, even when I covered them with mealworms. Even the cardinals succumbed to fast food. The poor squirrel with the ruined tail came back. It didn't behave like its tail hurt, as far as I could tell, but it did seem anxious around other squirrels.
