A little brown click beetle rescued itself. The caterpillar was in the same place on the parsley which doesn't bode well. A female slaty skimmer perched outside my window. Later a blue dasher male took that perch.
Mary Reid Barrow wrote about her mountain mint which seems to have the same insects as mine. The bees' and wasps' little dramas of harassment never lead to harm. The duskywing was back.
Hummers drank the feeder dry, which is better than having the sugar water go bad. I caught a goldfinch in flight! A couple of half-grown mallards paddled by and a couple of egrets flew over the new dock downstream.
There were still cherries on the tree but they shriveled in the heat. I'm surprised that the birds haven't been as interested in the cherries this year.
