Today became sunny and very windy. I was focused on getting photo proof that the white throats were still here and didn't realize I chopped the head off a brown thrasher - I never saw it was there in the background. A Carolina wren ate seeds and a bluebird ate what she found in the glass dish. A blue jay picked at the barkbutter dust. The bluebirds also ate seeds and the seed feeder perch kept rolling which flustered them. The catbird was back. So was the crow.
A yellow dragonfly with rusty striped wings and matching eyes perched on a garden stake. I think it was a
painted skimmer,
Libellula semifasciata, the first I've seen. A very small butterfly kept circling the yard, never stopping for a photo. I wasted many pixels. My best guess would be a spring azure. Wasps were flying around. The male red bellied woodpecker ate mealworms while I was outside, a first. A titmouse picked through the seeds.
