The cardinals were still billing, though not cooing. I think the chickadees were flirting too. Little birds flitted around in the trees, but I could not get a good look. The a pair of Carolina wrens came to the feeders.
While the pool crew worked, I potted some plants on the front patio. Dragonflies zipped past. There were two mud dauber tubes on the wall. A female hummer came for lunch. I camera-chased a butterfly all over the yard. It turned out to be a black swallowtail, but there were others: cabbage whites, a tiger, snouts, etc. I saw one skink survey the pool and then skitter off. They had been soaking up the warmth under the cover, The tide was surprisingly high, again.
At supper, I left the camera in another room. And so, the male red bellied woodpecker showed up for the first time in months. How do I know it was the same bird? He went to the old feeder location.
