Everyone slept in except K. Then I spent a lot of time cooking and may have missed some wildlife. A squirrel was eating green dogwood berries. A molting pine warbler ate bark butter and rainwater soup. The camera only wanted to focus when the bird's head was down in the food.
Apparently the rain did not ruin the hummers' nectar, though other hummers made it too risky for good digestion.
There were moments of sun and an apparent aerial battle between a palamedes and a black swallowtail. There was also a little snout butterfly. I glimpsed a male widow skimmer, but he didn't linger. A couple of sand wasps were very close. A spiderweb held raindrops. A grasshopper nymph climbed a bamboo stake I hadn't used yet. There was a frog in the pool skimmer again.
A snowy egret stalked the shallows below the dam. A molting Carolina wren took some melted bark butter. The brown headed nuthatch ignored me five feet away and let loose with some squeaks. A brown thrasher in the cedar observed me in the pool.
