After the rain of early noon, the sun came out for a brief while and so did some insects and lots of birds. Flies, such as this long-legged fly, odonates such as Bluets and Common Whitetails, various beetles and bugs, and even a few butterflies- European skipper and White admiral, were all seen. A female American redstart was actively gathering nest material and flying into the ravine with it. So while some birds have already finished nesting others are just beginning, or else are starting on their second brood. A pair of Downy woodpeckers and a Hairy woodpecker were around the BYG, and one of the downies flew expectantly to the feeder and, I swear, looked affronted to discover there were no seeds!
