Bad timing

The sky was gray and the wind gusty so it did not feel like room temperature.  I missed getting photos of a brown headed nuthatch and a Carolina wren.  An Argiope in the front yard relocated to the front door.  Since we were expecting people, I needed to persuade it to move.  I tried to get it to climb onto a long stalk but it kept jumping off and returning to the door.  Finally, I annoyed it so much that it very slowly walked across the patio to the planter and disappeared.  I swear it was sulking.  

A monarch that I think emerged today appeared to have problems with its wings.  It moved to the birdbath and fell in.  I tried to help it into some vegetation but I'm afraid it's doomed.  Too bad it didn't wait for a nicer day.  The black swallowtail chrysalis was definitely brown so I expect it will overwinter.  I need to find a safe place for it.
