Heat wave with rain

Really dark rain clouds are blowing fast and the wind is making the gulls, crows, and pelicans struggle. Several pelicans are just swimming, facing upstream while the current carries them downstream. Another great black-backed gull roosting on the dock. Geese also passed by paddling upstream.

Despite the rain, squirrels and some feeder birds are active. No shadows cast today, though there are no groundhogs in Tidewater to see their shadows in any case. It is supposed to rise to room temperature!

The juncos are back. A crow was mobbing a hawk, but I couldn't see more than a silhouette against the sky. And yes, there may have been 30 seconds of sun and shadow today.
