The overcast sky began to drip in the afternoon. It was not enough rain to water plants, just enough to wet the patio furniture and discourage insects. I did find the praying mantis lying on its side, still moving a little. I wonder if it ate a caterpillar full of rue and was poisoned.
A beach ball or balloon floated downstream. A great egret fished from out floating dock and almost fell in.
A mockingbird feasted on beautyberries while a brown thrasher went for the dogwood berries just a little higher. Two Carolina wrens snatched bark butter balls. Then a red bellied woodpecker took over the bark butter feeder. Pine warblers wanted some too. A titmouse slipped in for a share. The downy woodpecker wasn't going to be left out. But then they all disappeared.
