We got up late. Fledgling cardinals begged and their mother fed them so this must be a new batch. There appeared to be a boy and a girl. A Carolina wren ate mealworms because the barkbutter balls had all been eaten. The bird gave me a dirty look so I put out more later.
The hummers continued to battle oblivious to the benefits of sharing. Honeybees and wasps were back at the mountain mint. Today's rescues were a mama spider and a skink. The frog was in the skimmer basket till I rapped on it to loosen the leaves. It leaped out and dove into the water. Later I caught up with it at the ladder and it hopped out before I could give it a nudge. Maybe it's getting the point?
In the afternoon, a little green heron preened on a dock piling. It seemed to have some itchy spots. One big turtle occupied the lake log.
