Fogged windows

Humidity is high.  The blueberries have swelled from the rain.  Chickadees are busy on the feeder and wrens at the birdhouse.  Doves are hanging around.  The dragonfly patrol continues.  A Carolina wren foraged at the feeder and on the ground below. 

Clouds and sun are fighting it out. House finches, chickadees and titmice are crowding the feeder.  One young titmouse eats out of the hummer feeder.  I say young because it has little black on the face as yet.  All varieties of swallowtail have passed by.  Innumerable June beetles have gone for a swim, along with little black scarabs, tiger beetles, and a couple of other kinds of black beetles.  And field crickets.

Crows are so ubiquitous I forget to mention them, but three in different trees triangulated on me in the pool.  It was intimidating.  Gulls are also around every day, the majority are laughing gulls.
