Damp

The rain trailed off in the morning but the day remained gray.  There were more birds at the seed feeder, including a Carolina wren, a very wet downy, a brown headed nuthatch, and a red bellied woodpecker.  A mockingbird ate beautyberries.  A mourning dove plodded through the wet. 

 An orb web was made visible by moisture.  The hummer feeder filled up with rain water so I took it down.  The ant moat filled too and a bucket left outside was more than half full.  While cleaning the pool, I found a brown marmorated stink bug.  I rescued a small beetle and a jumping bristletail.  Southern purple mint moths perched on many surfaces.  After I showered I noticed a bold jumping spider had joined me.
