Today is much cooler and partly sunny, very nice.

I fed the birds.

We worked in the orchard, clearing brush and fallen limbs. 

EDIT 7/12/20 -- I saw a male goldfinch on the thistle sock.  :D  I hadn't seen any for a couple weeks.  There are lots of birds active today.

EDIT 7/12/20 -- I picked up sticks in the savanna.
