Warmer

Cloud cover came and went, but the sky was gray more often than blue.  There was more detritus in the water which had dropped from 80° on Thursday to 75° today. Nevertheless, I stayed in long enough to clean it up and to rescue a small beetle and a couple of small moths.  And to avoid a spider scuttling on the surface tension.  The only other invertebrates were a lacewing in flight and gnats dancing in a cloud.

Birds were more plentiful.  A blue jay kept an eye on me.  After hearing a woodpecker for a while I finely saw that it was a pileated.  A mockingbird came for the beauty berries.  Robins flocked in the trees. 

A Northern Parula Warbler appeared in the domestic cherry tree.  An egret flew downstream.  Titmice were camera shy.
