Another wet gray sky

The juvenile towhee was foraging under the feeder while I ate but then a squirrel showed up and the towhee left.  It appears that towhees are crepuscular, preferring dawn and dusk and dark days.

A red-spotted purple butterfly was hanging around the lantana.  Periods of sun are alternating with gloom.  The towhee came out from under the morning glories when the clouds won and the skink came out from under the rosemary when the sun reappeared.  This is a very small skink with a very long tail.

The hummer still visits despite the candied ants.  A light rain started around 4pm.  A gloomy evening and rain into the night.
