Red eyed vireo

Hot!   My car claimed 94°F and even the back yard was 89° and sweaty. I saw a red tailed hawk land in a tree on Greenwich Road.  Butterflies and dragonflies flitted around the city streets.  

The pool water was warmer too. The water surface was dusty with tiny insects and powder off leaves. But it was wonderfully refreshing. No critters in the skimmer or the water. A poor squirrel ambled by with a warbled back,  A mallard drake in eclipse plumage paddled downstream.  A dragonfly zipped around over the pool. 

It wasn't till I got out and sat dripping that I saw anything interesting.  The red eyed vireo was in the beauty berry which is where I've see them other years.
