Mostly invertebrates

The sky was intensely blue and the sun was hot.  I found lots of glass snails in the pool and transferred half a dozen to the birdbath.  I also fished out a bumblebee, a pine borer, and a mama wolf spider.  Blue dashers a widow skimmer, and a female great blue skimmer used the perching stakes I set out. 

Butterfly milkweed popped up suddenly and had already made flower buds.  The other milkweeds have been growing slowly all Spring but have no sign of blooming.  Only one turtle was out in the sun and it soon slid into the water.  And then I was in a meeting all afternoon and evening.
