The birds were lively this sunny morning. A titmouse, a Carolina wren, and a dove joined the regulars. An egret fished off the dock while a great blue heron flew downstream. A moth zigzagged through the air and I realized that small moths and butterflies have different characteristic ways of flying. A Carolina wren stared intently into the feeder trough and caught a moth.
The afternoon clouded over. Mockingbirds and blue jays went for the berries. The regulars, titmice, and wrens visited the feeder, It was cool and the sky threatened rain but didn't deliver. Acorn shrapnel was everywhere. I rescued a spider and a wasp.
