Goldfinches visited the hummer feeder. So did hummers, though one hovered over the hibiscus. Titmice competed with the seed feeder regulars. And doves watched enviously, or so I assume. A small moth clung to the glass. The two pimento peppers looked healthy. However the hibiscus leaves were all eaten to lace which may mean the end of flowers. 
After lunch it was not very lively. I heard a jay and saw a brown thrasher and a mockingbird. That or another was practicing its repertoire of bird songs. A flock of six or eight small birds I didn't recognize flew overhead, darting and twittering. 
Small butterflies, a thread waisted wasp, a slaty skimmer, and large bumblebees flew in the sunshine. I caught a glimpse of something that turned out to be a hummingbird moth on the mint. The sky was a vivid blue with some wispy clouds. A half moon was overhead at dusk as the moonflowers opened below.
