Still hot

I'm continuing to have computer problems which is why posts have been short.

A mockingbird came through yesterday and a blue jay just sat in the mulch for a while - cooler? Cardinals, house finches, chickadees and titmice at the feeder. The crow family hangs around in the trees. Lots of dragonfly species - a emerald green and black medium size (female Eastern Pondhawk Erythemis simplicicollis), a small rusty red (Eastern Amberwing Perithemis tenera), and a couple of large ones that go too fast to see clearly. The Pondhawk likes to perch on plants well away from the creek. The Amberwings hang out in the marsh grass - they're the ones I posted the other day mating. Today one shared a floating plank with a small blue crab.

The promised rain finally arrived with the evening and has cooled things down considerably. Perhaps that's why I can connect to the Internet now?
