At lunch, a coopers hawk streaked across the yard, closely pursued by the boys in blue, AKA blue jay. It really did look like a cop chase.
Something, probably a squirrel, dropped a dozen short branches of oak leaves, mostly into the pool, but a few on the side. I assume it was remodeling a drey and the mess came apart.
The pool was not warm, but warmer than the air as the sun struggled to get through a thin overcast. I saved a few wasps and beetles, but the lacewings never revive. A small spider seemed to be outraged at my pool cleaning efforts.
After I gave up and got my chilled body indoors, I saw a bird in the beautyberry bush that I'm guessing was a yellow breasted chat.
