First day of Summer

The pickerel weed is blooming in the water.

The bluebird is taking a sunbath on a branch in the tree.

A lady and a bumble on the milkweed in the meadow.

We have a new river birch in the wetland.

I got a glance of something bigger and orange, but the only butterfly I really saw was this European skipper.

Here is the grackle feeding two babies.  No wonder that I have the replace the suet cake every day.
