The black cat showed up early to drink from the pool. I hope it wasn't sick. K saw another sick raccoon, this time out in the street. Blue jays swarmed the barkbutter balls at breakfast and never returned, at least when I was watching. I put a fresh feeder out for the hummer. The roses put out buds.
Sometimes the overcast thinned a bit but it never broke apart. The creek not only picked up the dull colors, it had a matte surface. Humidity and the lack of wind brought out the biting insects but I didn't see their predators except for a frog. There were a few Southern purple mint moths to remind me to hose off the rosemary. I saw one dark butterfly. The two monarch caterpillars were bigger. Brown headed nuthatches competed with titmice, chickadees, house finches, and cardinals for a seat at the seed feeder.
