Rain

 Nothing happened at breakfast.  Later as I was leaving, a small, black butterfly landed on the mint.  I think it was a wild indigo duskywing.  Weird wasps and bees or bee-mimic flies also feasted on mint.  A couple of threadwaisted wasps were mating which looked kind of cannibalistic.  There were lots of fiery skippers and a hairstreak.  

All the dark clouds finally let loose at about 1:30pm.  After the rain, I saw a yellow crowned night heron hunting in the spartina.  A house wren foraged in the wet mulch and a squirrel above picked wild cherries.  Titmice came for seeds.
