Clouds gathered in the late afternoon. Crows gathered every time there was a chance at food. A squirrel tried to get into the fort Knox of sunflower seeds. A persistent, and omnivorous, Carolina wren hung around all day sampling every feeder, except the hummers'. Bluebirds, brown thrashers, blue jays, and even cardinals helped themselves to barkbutter balls. A red bellied woodpecker refused to come that close to me.
Lots of paper wasps were busy, and thirsty. I saw a couple of dragonflies and a few butterflies, including a pearl crescent and a couple of shouts dancing in the air. An ant hoisted a large fragment of something pale up the side of the oak tree.
The crescent moon was visible in the afternoon but thin clouds made it tricky to photograph.
