Overnight rain

It had just finished raining when I got up.  The sky steadily cleared through the morning.  In addition to the regulars, a brown thrasher and a Carolina wren paid brief visits.  The squirrels looked wet and matted as they carried off pecans.  For some reason they bring the nuts from the front yard around and through the back making three quarters of a circle.

At lunch an eagle flew past.  A squirrel chased three doves.  Then the sky began to cloud over again and the temperature dropped.  I ventured into the water anyway and rescued yet another tiny black caterpillar. 


After considerable image googling, I think these have been soldier beetle larvae, not caterpillars.
