A Carolina wren sat in one of the patio chairs. A titmouse watched from the dogwood. While swimming I saw a monarch but it floated away. After I got out, a dark butterfly made a couple of passes back and forth under the oak. I couldn't be sure but my guess is red spotted purple. A prince baskettail protected me from aerial attack. The all-black bee was back on the mountain mint.
After weeks of absence, suddenly the pileateds turned up at suppertime today, still arguing over who got to eat first. They ate a lot, too, and left scarcely a teaspoonful for other birds.
