Quiet

A tattered buckeye butterfly guzzled mountain mint.  A black swallowtail had a few sips as well.  The monarch caterpillar had relocated to the other milkweed stalk.  I rescued a leaf-footed bug nymph that was captaining an oak leaf.  Dragonflies kept watch. 

I suspect a hawk was hanging around, scaring off the birds.  A male goldfinch had a drink from the ant moat, but then it caught sight of me and fled.  Hummers made frequent visits.  I saw a few skinks.
