Things have a well-scrubbed look and the sun is shining. Birds are hungry, cardinals and chickadees at the feeder, egrets by the dam outflow, and a hummingbird appeared! Geese were flying maneuvers. Later cormorants flocked but without the precision of geese.The spider came through the storm as did her mate. Although, the other day there were two males and now I only see one. More red hibiscus have popped out. The rosemary is humming with tiny halactid bees, large bumblebees, and an occasional skipper.
I went for what may be the last swim of the season - cool but not uncomfortable. Then very threatening clouds rolled in from the Southwest, but just passed on through. A kingfisher announced himself as he perched on a dock piling. A red-bellied woodpecker was very raucous as he ate acorns. I don't know why some birds feel compelled to call attention to themselves, but it is very helpful.
