Cooler and wet

The seed feeder is busy.  A titmouse with no face mask is among the birds.  The towhee tried to land on the step railing and slid down.  After a moment it remembered it could fly away instead of scrabbling at the slick surface.  A tiger swallowtail swooped across the patio.  The wild blue morning glories are blooming.  I don't understand why they wait till their leaves are all bug-eaten.

No sun for a while now.  There was blue sky before but now it has clouded over.  Heavy rumbles around noon and it is quite gloomy.   And it has been raining now for a couple of hours. At lest the birdbath is full.  Nothing stirring but gulls and crows.

Cardinals and chickadees showed up for a damp evening snack.  This one looks miserable.
