After breakfast, K saw a turtle beside the pool. I believe it was a female headed home to the lake after laying eggs. But there were no turtles on their log, maybe because of the nearby construction.
A mockingbird investigated the dish feeder and found it empty. I refilled it but did not see the bird again. Instead a female bluebird enjoyed a barkbutter ball. Other critters I didn't get a good look at included a butterfly and a dragonfly. A dove hung out on the patio, for no reason that I could see.
A pair of mallards brought their remaining duckling for a swim. The dog helped us persuade them to leave. I found Japanese beetles on the hibiscus. I also found buds on some of the hibiscus stalks.
