The early mockingbird was back. The newspaper had an article on poison ivy. The volunteers planted spartina and strung goose protection. It all left the shoreline looking very strange. Geese and ducks paddled past without stopping.
The rue was buzzing in the afternoon. I saw a honeybee, bumblebees, hover flies, many kinds of wasp, and a very tiny bee with loaded pollen baskets. A big, dark, waspish thing whizzed through the lowest parts of the vegetation so I never got a good look. Several spiders were handing out around the pool.
A pine warbler got some 'powder of mealworm and barkbutter'. Titmice were bold. or possibly naive - I think they may have been parent and offspring. The one that looked younger to me kept dropping the seeds it was trying to peck open.
