Windy

At breakfast, I saw a titmouse and an egret.  Lunch was better for birdwatching.  A hummer visited.

In the afternoon, I saw lots of dragonflies.  The ones I could identify were great blue skimmers.  Wasps, both paper and mason, battled the wind, which stripped away all the heat the sun generated on my skin.  The spider that had been in the iris was gone, but I found a venusta orchard orb weaver a little further on.  I fished a drowned rodent out of the pool, probably a vole.  I had not seen any, or any tunnels, for several years.

An egret passed under the dock.  Something peculiar was just under the surface of the creek.  It looked like it might be part of fishing or crabbing gear.
