Avian invasion

 Today we saw our first hummingbird as well as a female scarlet tanager. Still waiting to see the beautiful male.

At one point, there were six orioles squabbling over the remnants of the orange sections I had put out -- two females and four males. We usually only get passing glances of the orioles, so this was exciting. Tom wanted to take a photograph, but by the time he was ready they had scattered, of course.

The white squirrel put in an appearance this morning, too.

Quite the day for wildlife!

On an unrelated but happy note, last night I completed (I hope!) my work on the Carmelite project.
