The pool is warm enough for swimming. The mallards agree. A titmouse visited the feeder early and the white spot squirrel stopped by. A finch saw me and left.
I need to change the hummer feeder. This morning it is full of largish, honey-brown ants. I think they just discovered it as they are still alive and swimming around. A well around the hanger is supposed to keep insects out, but ants may be making living bridges to cross it. I dumped the whole mess and brought the feeder inside.
A thin drizzle started mid morning and turned into a daylong rain. Some lightning, but mostly lots of water. As though to prove the cliche, when I got home a pair of mallard drakes were swimming in the pool in the rain. I tried to get a photo but there wasn't enough light - the flash went off and they scuttled away.
