A little rain fell overnight. At breakfast a house wren sat on the feeder hanger and cried pitifully for food, shivering and fluttering its wings. A hummer was on the feeder when another showed up. The bird in possession just glared at the other which flew away. By 9am sunshine was getting through the cloud layer. An egret preened on the dock - apparently those aigrettes itch.
The juvenile night heron stalked along the spartina but I had to peer through the foliage. blue jays were upset about something. A tiger swallowtail fluttered by, but was invisible to the camera. I missed an orange butterfly at lunch. The insects on the mint included honeybees. Later, as I waited "on hold," a Needham's skimmer darted all around the patio. But I couldn't juggle the phone and camera. A wren scuttled under the camellia. Twelve spotted skimmers zoomed overhead. Clouds rolled out of the West in the late afternoon.
