The temperature rose very fast so I took my pool time in the morning. By doing so, I saved a large black beetle and a little ladybird. Also a very small robber fly. Bees and wasps managed to stay out of the water.
A mockingbird landed on the barkbutter dish while I was beside it. The bird panicked. I also saw bluebirds, blue jays, and the female pileated woodpecker. A small heron, probably a night heron, sailed over the house.
