Cardinals and house wrens were up at dawn, as was I. Much later, at least two titmice seemed like a mob. They were followed by a cloud of house finches. A dove strutted around the patio.
At lunch, a bee was working hard on the nandina flowers.
Ants got past the lint barrier to invade the hummer feeder. HRWE identified them as Camponotus castaneus a type of carpenter ant.
A female
golden-winged skimmer appeared in the afternoon. It looked enough like yesterday's yellow-sided skimmer to confuse me. Toward evening dramatic clouds played peek-a-book with the sun in the West while the rest of the sky was just hazy. I was in Norfolk and was treated to swallows dancing in the air over the rooftops.
