The catbird chowed down on the aged, desiccated grape jelly. I had no idea that jelly would interest a catbird. Then an actual cat sauntered past. It was the yellow long hair. After it was gone, a mockingbird fed from the dish of barkbutter & mealworms. A blue jay, and the male red belly stuck to the barkbutter mealworm mix. Later the catbird returned and tossed mealworms everywhere. A squirrel thought about raiding the dish but decided to go elsewhere. Bluebirds showed up at mid day. Something sat in the top of the hackberry and preened. It turned out to be a freshly bathed blue jay which really fooled me. Lots of butterflies came out even though it wasn't quite 70°. I saw a tiger swallowtail, a silver spotted skipper, and some I couldn't identify. A downy rejoiced in a fresh suet block.
