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.
