A male red bellied woodpecker did chin-ups for breakfast. Then the bluebirds arrived, both looking a bit worn out from parenting.
I happened to look out a window mid morning, and there were geese pooping on the patio. I hustled outside to run them off and surprised a juvenile night heron. I don't know where it had been, but it flew up to the roof and I tried to get a picture but it flew away. I found handkerchief spiderwebs in the grass, almost invisible without dew.
After lunch I went back out because I had a meeting later. A very tattered skimmer clung to a bamboo perch. The dogwoods were beginning to feel like Fall. Blue jays were upset about something, screeching and carrying on. I saw a black swallowtail, a tiger swallowtail, a monarch, and a sulphur, but only the black swallowtail lingered.
