Last swim?

I hurried outside after breakfast to catch the waning moon before it dropped behind the trees.  I love the trees but they raise the effective horizon.   The water was 72° but the air was ten degrees warmer and the sun was fierce.  There was, however, wind which got stronger as the afternoon went on.  But for such a beautiful day, I saw very little beyond the expected: Canada geese, mallards and crows.  A sulphur flitted into the trees and I glimpsed a dragonfly while in the car.  A few bees and wasps hung around the decapitated mountain mint.  I kept catching glimpsed of a bird I think might be a red eyed vireo, but it was too shy to make a positive identification.  Wildlife hate wind more than cold or rain.
