An egret greeted the sun from a dock piling. I think the spider mites returned - webbing enmeshed the rue. Some of yesterday's hibiscus flowers were still open.
A Halloween pennant dragonfly perched on a dead twig at the top of the hackberry. A Carolina wren sang in the dogwood. A juvenile brown thrasher sifted through the leaf litter.
The mountain mint hosted a wide variety of wasps and bees. In the pool, a biting fly went after me for protein in the hope that rain would create breeding pools.
K picked more blueberries and saw a hawk in the grass. I suspect it was after the brown thrasher but, thankfully, it was unsuccessful. It perched on the fence long enough for some photos. We heard thunder but got no rain. The storm stayed over the southern part of the city.
