First butterfly

At breakfast, the myrtle warbler was back, but none of the other warblers.  Carpenter bees feasted on the Carolina jessamine.   A crow checked out the bird buffet.  The very warm and very windy day kept most birds away.

The black swallowtail butterfly was only about half as big as normal and the wind was almost too much for it. Meanwhile, the wind also brought moist clouds that obscured the sun.  Some turtles were out on their favorite logs.  A very gentle rain fell sometime before 6pm. But when I went outside after dark the rain had stopped and I could see a blurry moon.
