the big and small / August 25

Enjoyed a sit outside in sunny weather.  A couple of red-tailed hawks circled high overhead, a great blue heron flew by, and a tiny hummingbird visited the rose of sharon.  The nuthatch stopped at both the seed and the fat feeders.  I also saw a monarch butterfly. 

Common birds: cardinal (pair), house sparrow, robin, starling, red-breasted nuthatch, goldfinch (male)

Summer visitors: ruby-throated hummingbird

Overhead: red-tailed hawk, great blue heron

Heard: blue jay
