Clouds blew rapidly to the Northeast and ground-level gusts were strong enough to blow spray in my face. Birds mostly lay low though I did see one hummer chase another away from the feeder. A pair of cardinals shared the seed feeder until they ate enough to trip the counterweight.
The bee and wasp crowd at the mountain mint were not diminished, but some gusts carried off a cloud of bees that quickly returned to their dinner. Two fiery skippers were among them, and a couple of twitchy great black wasps.
