A variegated fritillary danced around the patio and a black swallowtail. Later while I was swimming and couldn't take a picture, a monarch visited the milkweed. I rescued a small skink with no tail and a large green caterpillar. I did not see the caterpillar revive though. A great blue skimmer dragonfly hunted from one of the garden stakes. It appeared to me that the young spider in the window was beginning to get adult orange on its legs. I've never watched that change before. The spider I disturbed last week by the rose bush surfaced in a new web behind the bench.
The pair of Carolina wrens shared the suet. They either enjoy each other's company or they don't trust each other out of sight. In the afternoon, one preened on a dead branch in the dogwood. A buzzard circled overhead. Toward evening, a white breasted nuthatch came for seeds.
