Rain

A white breasted nuthatch joined the chickadees and titmice waiting for seeds while a cardinal exercised pecking order.  A downy ate suet. Not a colorful lineup.  The rain began at 3:30pm with a shower.  I slipped in a swim before the next wave of rain, which was much longer lasting.  Meanwhile four moonflowers opened with no pollinators likely.  I could find only the orchard spider, the black swallowtail chrysalis, and one monarch chrysalis.  That one appeared dark as though ready to eclose.
