There were also butterflies, bees (even honeybees), wasps, and beetles, but the diversity of the dragonflies was amazing. I didn't capture the Carolina saddlebags, the widow skimmer, or the twelve spotted skimmer, but the others perched for me: blue dashers, a yellow sided skimmer, male and female great blue skimmers, and a glorious Needham's skimmer.
The wrens were as busy and the hummers as hungry as ever. A hummer tried to get fed at the wilted hibiscus. A great crested flycatcher took the perch atop the pine. Blue jays were around, but shy.
I rescued the tiniest skink I ever saw. I think it chased a cricket into the water. later I saw several full grown lizards.
