We got more sunshine and less wind today but there was still a lot of cloud. Ophelia had not yet moved out of range. The female fledgling was either the boldest or the most foolish cardinal, arriving first at the feeder and not spooking as quickly. A blue jay was happy that I replenished the barkbutter balls.
Strange things floated on the creek but the tide was back to normal. A couple of turtles emerged to bask on their log. A damaged mallard drake hung around the pool I found four of the monarch caterpillars. A paper wasp looked for something around the post. The conk fungus reappeared at the base of the oak looking like bake-n-serve dinner rolls. A great blue heron paced the dock. I got into the chilly water and worked on cleaning up the pool. A drowned skink was on the bottom among all the leaves and pine needles.
