Index of Subjects We have Tree swallows rushing about busily so we know there are chick(?)s. I haven't heard a peep for sure but soon... Our Swallows always got their young fledging on July 1st until the past couple years. Looks like they might come close this year. There are young Starlings out. I can't see much happening with Grackles (not overly sad as there were way too many) though so either the Raven and Crows cleaned up or the weather washed them out. There was a young Robin screeching from the maple along side of the driveway and Mom anxiously chatting back but suddenly there was a lot of angst and frantic flying about. Alas no more young Robin. Catbird showed up yesterday. A few American Goldfinches are back after dandelion seeds. The apple trees are in full bloom and the Waxwings and warblers have found them. It is so hard to get anything done inside because I want to know who is passing through. Hummingbirds are nesting, or re-nesting now. I have at least 4 females and three males attending my feeders. There may be a person coming to study them, maybe in July, so that could be interesting. A smattering of Flutterbies. I am seeing the odd Red Admiral, a Sulphur or two, Cabbages and a few Fritillaries. My sister saw her first Swallowtail of the season. We have eyes peeled for Monarchs of course. More milkweed have been planted and more is starting now. I know there will never be too much food. There are a few very small softly pale blue Butterflies, I cannot seem to catch with the camera. so beautiful. Oh and I had a small Mourning Cloak about noon.
