Quiet Sunday Morning

The last few mornings have begun as gray and overcast.

That does not seem to bother the Goldfinches. 
As long as the All You Can Eat Nyjer Thistle Bar is open, they are happy.

By early afternoon the sun appears and so do the bees.

This Bumblebee has a large ball of pollen to carry back home.

Lavender has a wide appeal to pollinators of all sorts.

Here's a young female Black headed Grosbeak.
While the Evening Grosbeaks have mostly moved on, the Black headed Grosbeaks remain in large numbers.

This little gal stopped by for a drink of water.
And this little gal stopped by to make sure there were no other Hummingbirds in the immediate area.
