Damp, gray day

A white breasted nuthatch and a pair of downy woodpeckers joined the regulars and the titmice at the seed feeder.  As I snapped th nuthatch, from one click to the next it turned into a chickadee!  Hummers acted famished.  A mockingbird chased a catbird out of the beautyberries.  I glimpsed and heard a kingfisher and a snowy egret watched the dam outfall.  A couple of wrens pecked at the rosemary. 

Only one dead frog and no skinks was an improvement.  Jumping spiders took an interest in the doorway and I had to carry one back outside.  The Argiope and the Araneus maintained their webs.  A swallowtail flitted across the yard and did not return.  A light sprinkle of rain fell mid afternoon despite meteorologists predictions.
