A white-crowned sparrow stopped by today. The warblers are mostly gone, now it is the season of the sparrow in the garden.

The first ovenbird of the migratory season stopped by the garden this morning. They are so ridiculously cute. Also, I never knew that they are warblers! Somehow I never cottoned on to that.
Are you really photographing my butt?

No new birds today, but a really great looking new fly visitor - a ladybird fly, Gymnosoma rotundatum. It is feeding from my water parsnip.
And as the evening moves on, the Hunt's bumblebees congregate on the anise hyssop, settling in for the night.
