Rain from last night filled the birdbath and ruined the bird food. The sun was fierce but the temperature was mild, in fact cool in the shade with a breeze. In between clouds. the sky was sharply blue. The larger frog was waiting for me in the skimmer. It hopped away and I did not see it again. In fact, I didn't see much wildlife at all. Dark butterflies explored and swallowtail caterpillars ate.
I found another drowned caterpillar that I couldn't identify. A sweat bee needed rescue. A millipede walked over my foot. Titmice visited along with the regular seed eaters. A hummer was very thirsty. I heard cicadas, a blue jay, a goldfinch, and something that sang "turnip, turnip." High clouds were blown South while lower ones came in from the East. Eventually the wind shifted to Northeast The polypore looked pristine.
