I didn't see the tree swallows swooping into the bird house, maybe the little ones fledged. The brown bats were darting around collecting bugs and an occasional nighthawk too. Earlier I saw a hunter assassin bug beyond my feet that started burrowing in the dirt. Trenching a path repeatedly to create a hole for some purpose then left. The sky colored up and the breezy day was over.

I picked less than 2 liters of black caps this morning which is more than I thought there would be.
