Rain fell overnight but the sky cleared and the air was warm and humid. The small black panther had a staring match with a squirrel. The squirrel left unharmed. The cat appeared to have been damaged previously because there was a patch of missing hair below its right ear. Anyway, it did not hang around. After it left, bluebirds arrived.
Blue jays visited the barkbuter but escaped my camera. Brown headed nuthatches ate seeds despite the house finch on the perch. One nuthatch fed another but it wasn't clear whether the recipient was offspring or mate. I'm inclined to think it was a fledgling.
Gladiolus, daylies, and butterfly milkweed bloomed. I went swimming and fished out a couple of spiders. A mushroom popped up just below the retaining wall. The moon was bright but hazy. Fireflies eluded me.
