Washed fresh and sparkling

The clouds seem to be clearing off. The storm last evening lowered the temperature, though the humidity is still high. Good for the ripening blueberries. The grackles are feasting.

Many visitors this morning: the goldfinch pair, a dove, a male red-wing blackbird, a couple of wrens, and a dark bird bigger than the finches with no field marks that I can see. It sat on the feeder blocking the finches, chickadees and titmice. I wonder if it is a female r-w blackbird? The crow family were loudly demanding breakfast on the neighbors' roof. The young rabbit passed through.

The afternoon brought thunderheads but no rain. And here's an after dark visitor. I went to see what was knocking on the door. I believe it is some kind of longhorn beetle.
