Busy birds

K thinks she saw a hawk perch on the feeder post.  About half an our later the birds came back - titmice and the usual suspects.  A finch faced off a titmouse at the edge of the perch till the poor titmouse was upside down.  It looked like an acrobatic act.  The hummer (s?) seems quite pleased with the fresh sugar water.  The sky is cloud-covered, but with texture, not that low, moist gray. A soaring egret appeared to be playing on the wind like a gull.

The overcast is breaking up on a wind out of the Northeast.  Last night, the mosquito fogger truck went down our street so I wondered if that accounted for the dearth of bugs today.  Bees are busy on the rosemary and I've seen a tiger swallowtail and a tiny ladybird-type beetle.

The afternoon was pretty clear, except for clouds passing through, but very humid.  It was cool and breezy but kind of dank.  A Carolina wren hunted bugs inside the morning glory tangle.  The squirrel with the white spot and a smaller squirrel foraged.  A firefly is sitting on the window.
