Warming, I hope

A house wren and then a Carolina wren poked around in the morning.  Here are both for comparison.

Only one titmouse visited.  Parents and a juvenile cardinal showed up but the male kept driving the fledgling away. The water was quite cold, or was it that the air was warmer?  At any rate, I found a spider and a frog in the skimmer, both lively.  Lots of ground beetles both alive and dead were in the water and there were several earthworms on the bottom.

A vine tied together two flowering stalks of goldenrod.  The saltbush was also blooming and the marsh fleabane was still pink.
