Doves congregated under the feeder and around the patio. Squirrels, including white spot, alternated between dropped seed and nuts. The regulars appeared for breakfast, but nothing more exotic. Something - maybe fish, maybe methane - kept popping to the surface of the creek and making ripples that caught the sun. Otherwise the creek was glassy till mid-morning.
Spiders, a snail, field crickets, and black beetles were in the water. A spider fell off the brick and apparently died almost immediately. I fished it out but it did not revive. A mama wolf spider also clung to the brick. I put a twig for the spiders to use to climb out but none did. More honeybees found the rosemary. A black swallowtail visited the parsley and a cabbage butterfly flitted by. A big darner dragonfly zoomed back and forth.
