Farewell to the pool

The day never got as warm as predicted, or it would have been even harder to see the swimming season end.  I figured the pool closing crew would scare off all the wildlife so I didn't really bother to watch for birds.  I did discover two sizable monarch caterpillars demolishing the butterfly milkweed.  I found the black swallowtail caterpillar as well, but it had a lot more growing to do. 

Then, the male kingfisher perched on a piling downstream. The wind played havoc with his ragged crest.  The tide was surprisingly high.  So the day was far from wasted.
