Today was cooler under an overcast sky. Red and yellow finches shared the feeder, briefly. A Carolina wren investigated the seeds and caught a big bug. Two squirrels chased each other and disturbed birds. One squirrel actually managed to steal a few seeds from the feeder. The other had a sweet tooth and tried the hummer feeder. A pair of brown thrashers hunted in a rosebush.
The mountain mint was lively with wasps and bees. I saw a blue mud wasp but it didn't hang around to be photographed. I did get two different kinds of black bee. A slaty skimmer used the bamboo perch outside my window. A hummer visited. I got my swim time in the morning and we even ate lunch outside. The aster had buds again. A great blue heron perched on a dock post. Not long after that, the rain began.
