Spider

The pileated woodpecker spooked before it got any suet.  The first violets opened.  I took the scallop shells down to the creek to throw in and there I found a spider in an orb web on the dock.  I couldn't get close enough to be sure it was alive but the web looked fresh.  

Hoodies paddled downstream and a kingfisher zipped by too fast for me.  An egret took over a post on the new dock beside the dam while a great blue heron occupied the turtles' log.  Pelicans and cormorants flew past.  I saw the muskrat or nutria or possibly otter swim to the neighbors' dock leaving a wake but with only it's nose above water.
