the cabbage white / July 4

I spent some time outside today, and briefly watched a little cabbage white butterfly when it landed near my vegetables.  It rained quite a bit overnight, and was sunny most of the day.  We had some shopping to do this afternoon, and from the car we saw a hawk sitting on a hydro pole, with a grackle (?) just a few feet away. 

Common birds: house sparrow, grackle, starling, robin, downy woodpecker (female), cardinal (pair)

Summer visitors: red-wing blackbird (pair)
