Rain fell overnight. A gray morning was followed by a shower after lunch, then sunshine. Bluebirds, brown headed nuthatches, a Carolina wren, and a female downy visited in the morning. A squirrel climbed up onto the feeder hanger and waved its tail around, which made me wonder if it was in heat and dispersing a "come hither" pheromone. The wild cherries were turning from green to red.
In the pool I saved a couple of brown May beetles (
Phyllophaga) though I probably shouldn't. Also I saved a small spider with racing stripes and saw another that appeared to be an ant mimic. When I got out, I watched the prince baskettails cavort overhead. The
Argiope spiders survived the rain. Fireflies blinked at dusk.
