Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Pair of brown thrashers
A pair of brown thrashers visited several times on a lovely, sunlit day. Despite the clear, blue sky, the temperature barely cleared 70° . The breeze grew gusty at times. A blue jay noticed noticed the barkbutter balls. A bluebird ate seeds
which were nearly empty. The red belly fussed because I was too close
to the seed feeder but a titmouse didn't care. At lunch, I spotted a tiger swallowtail resting on a dogwood twig. It was right under the wild cherry so it might have been freshly emerged from a chrysalis. Or it might just have been tired from laying eggs. Eventually it took off.
