I finally got a photo of the wren that's moved into the old birdhouse in the camellia. It's a Carolina wren. So the two old, repaired birdhouses have tenants but not the fine new birdhouse outside my office window.
It was warm and sunny at lunchtime. Afterward I went outside. I heard wrens and other birds but only saw cardinals. A small green wasp was hauling a de-legged spider as big as itself - it couldn't fly, only hop. I found a black swallowtail caterpillar on the rue and saw both black and tiger swallowtails in flight. Also a pearl crescent, I think. Dragonflies zipped around but never perched. A bee fly was sitting on the rosemary. The dredge was working downstream from the water tower.
By 4pm the sun had disappeared behind thick overcast and the temperature had dropped. I ran around shutting the windows. An egret stalked along the bank in the early evening.
