A very heavy dew left every surface wet. I hung a fresh hummer feeder and refreshed the bark butter balls. Dragonflies were waiting for the small fliers. A yellow crowned night heron paced below the dam.
Hummers were hungry. Some of the monarch caterpillars disappeared. A hummer tried to feed from the rose. A skinklet scurried around the birdbath. The blue jays found the bark butter while a couple of titmice came for seeds.
When I went out to the pool there were even more dragonflies. I am certain of the great blue skimmer and the slaty skimmer. I added water to the birdbath and one dragonfly zoomed right over and perched on a leaf where it could watch for egg laying mosquitoes.
The Argiope had a tidy meal all wrapped up. Chickadees fussed about something in the camellia. A female eastern pondhawk rested on a money plant leaf. The two remaining monarch caterpillars appeared to hold a conversation with much waving of the long black hairs that look like antennae.
