The female goldfinch checked on the sunflowers at breakfast. A brown thrasher headed for the cherries. So did a black bird that may have been a crow. A robber fly landed on the screen. A painted lady butterfly landed in the grass. Two night herons and a little green heron flew downstream. Dragonflies patrolled but mostly did not land. I did manage to identify a Carolina saddlebags.
A hummer visited at lunch. Several skinks darted around. I saw black and palamedes swallowtails in flight. Dry leaves blew into the water. A few geese grazed down by the water.
In the evening, a titmouse showed up at the feeder. A hummer made several visits. A house wren scrounged in the mulch. And dragonflies darted too fast for the fading light. The low fliers seemed to be brownish while twelve-spotted skimmers stayed up at roof height. The waxing gibbous moon was bright but the cloudless sky didn't do much at sunset.
