Doves showed up at breakfast but squirrels evicted them. Titmice and the regulars enjoyed seeds while a bald bluejay snatched
some mealworms. I think a wren was under the rosemary but it stayed
behind a screen of twigs. A cardinal got into the beauty berries. 
There were occasional flashes of sunlight but the wind was chilly and the water felt warmer than the air. Lots of black ground beetles were rafting. I heard a kingfisher but didn't see it at all. I did see a black swallowtail and a red spotted purple butterfly. Both spiders were in their usual places. There was a lot of large frass under the Argiope so I suspect there is a tiger swallowtail caterpillar higher up in the wild cherry. A gust of rain hit after midnight. Hurricane Maria?
