Hot again

The hummers continued their aerial fights.  In the late morning, I saw a cloudless sulphur, a tiger swallowtail, and a monarch.  A green-as-grass-hopper nymph seemed to believe it was camouflaged against gray concrete.  Crows gathered for some purpose.  From the sound of this, they were fish crows.  I rescued a mama wolf spider and her babies. 

In the afternoon, a downy woodpecker joined the cardinals and finches.  A Carolina wren looked in briefly.  And a frog was startled by a cardinal into jumping into the pool.
