A bluebird wanted a barkbutter ball. The female pileated wanted suet. Later, when I was sitting outside, she stayed up in the oak. I saw a hummer check out the fresh feeder but then it kept going. Maybe the canna flowers looked tastier.
K told me the Argiope that was minding the peppers relocated to our front door. The other one that was watching the lantana moved around more to the front. I couldn't find the spider I disturbed yesterday but the two in the windows were still in their same spots. However, their webs were full of debris.
A black swallowtail drank milkweed nectar. A thread-waisted wasp landed on the rose. A skipper I didn't recognize rested on a morning glory leaf. Then I saw a peculiar wasp on another leaf. A dragonfly perched atop the camellia.
I cleared more tree trash out of the water and rescued a mama spider and her spiderlings. The temperature got up to 80
° but the wind peeled the warmth off my skin and then clouds blew in. I surprised the common whitetail when I got out of the pool and he high-tailed it. A skink crossed the top step.
