A mockingbird was an early bird but the camera failed. Bluebirds were not far behind. The camera had no trouble focusing on birds' rear ends. I missed a nuthatch, however. A starling was frustrated by the plastic above the suet. Morning was sunny and the creek was quiet except for the construction projects.
At lunch time I saw a couple of skinks. Afterward, I got outside for a short while but the construction noise and vibrations were too much for me. Lots of wasps were hunting. A female cardinal in the red cedar appeared to be hunting too. Caterpillars?
I saw too many hibiscus sawflies just waiting for shoots to push out of the ground. One of the wasps turned out to be a jumping spider. A tiny reddish long-legged fly loitered around the money plant. And I found a ladybird beetle on the rue. The afternoon clouded over, grew dark, and finally the promised thunderstorms began to roll through accompanied by dire weather predictions.
