When I went into the bathroom, barely awake, a mockingbird was running back and forth on the windowsill chasing its breakfast, I assume. At my breakfast, I thought I saw a catbird in the camellia, but I wasn't certain. I did certainly see a house wren in the company of a Carolina wren. A hummer was displeased with its juice.Later, I saw a skink in the garage hide itself behind too much stuff to bother trying to get it out.
At lunch, a bird grasshopper sat on the watering can handle. I ran errands and when I came home, a couple of silver spotted skippers and a fiery skipper danced over the lantana. A damselfly was on the birdbath but left too quickly for me to see what kind. The pink shamrock Araneus was back after disappearing in the morning.

The pool water was warmer and the air very warm with only a gentle breeze. I found two drowned skinks and a frog still kicking in the skimmer. I rescued lots of insects from floating leaves. There were weevily-looking beetles, ground beetles, click beetles, and a longhorn beetle. Lots of crickets were swimming. A sizeable dead roach was floating. I also rescued a lovely tiger moth that then expired.
A juvenile yellow crowned night heron caught a crab and then had difficulty eating it. A black swallowtail flitted all over.
