Broken overcast

Nothing but a squirrel so far.  It is hot and humid.  The geese are coming from every direction with their goslings.  Some chickadees stopped in briefly. One put on a strange act on the corner of the roof.  I don't know if it was trying to do a broken wing or a feed me.

The hummer continues to visit.  Dragonflies are enjoying the still, humid air.  One has spotted wings and cruises back and forth, maybe a twelve spotted skimmer.  Another with clear wings darts under it, maybe a springtime darner.  There are butterflies around but they are moving fast. The clouds look menacing, but in between the sun feels intense. 

Late in the day, the female towhee foraged under the feeder while the male watched from the dogwood.  Finally by sunset most of the clouds were gone and after dark a crescent moon and planets were visible.
