It was so humid there was fog early in the morning and the windows had patches of condensation, but it was not hot. A bumblebee overnighted in a sunflower and a katydid occupied another. The brown thrashers were together at the nest, but one flew off when I came past. The blueberries were fatter this morning. Something stripped all the leaves off some branches, but I didn't see any caterpillars.
A lot of titmice got excited with both the feeder and the cherry tree till they didn't know which to settle on. Two fledgling Carolina wrens came and sang, but moved off before I got the camera in position. The regulars visited the feeder as well and a female towhee looked around in the mulch. A dragonfly perched briefly on the lavender.
A skink came out at lunch and more dragonflies were active. A black swallowtail put in a brief appearance. An egret flew past.
The clouds were moving out of the SE in the morning but shifted to East by lunch. Some looked thunderous. In the late afternoon, a fox appeared under the oak. I wonder why they seem to like that spot? A green heron took off after I missed seeing it until then. The brown thrashers were busy. A dove flew past. The full moon was impressive.
