Last of summer

Titmice appeared early, then I had to leave.  When I got home, wrens were foraging and bathing.  A juvenile cardinal watched askance.  There are too many cardinals for their peace-of-mind.  The song sparrow is still here.  A tiger swallowtail floated overhead.  The paper wasps on the front porch have multiplied.  The argiope spider is still hanging out over the light with her egg sacks. 

Heavy, dark clouds rolled in from the South mid-afternoon, but only about six drops of rain fell.  Pool rescues were mostly crickets and spiders, some of whom were carrying their offspring.  The titmice and other birds returned when the clouds lightened.
