Back to hot

The amazing, breezy, pleasant weather is past and we are back to Tidewater summer. With the heat came the smell of peat smoke and haze. The sky is a mottled gray and white with some sun leaking through.

An angle-wing katydid nymph got in the house somehow. It thanked me for rescue with a bit of frass.

The little bird that I've been noticing is indeed a Carolina wren. It visited the feeder briefly this morning but flew before I got the camera ready. Finches are busy as usual.

At lunch, the male goldfinch took an interest in the sunflower blossom. It could be that the flowers were snapped off by a bird trying to land on them.
