Hazy

Not much stirring.  A few skippers are flitting among flowers.  This brown variety (some kind of duskywing) is less common than the orange skippers which I think are sachems.  I saw a dead June beetle on its back, the underside and legs all sparkling bronze and green metallic. 

Threatening clouds came from the NNW at noon and a downpour ensued at 12:30.  Lots of thunder and some lightning. It's lasted quite a while and filled the birdbath. But it has gone back to haze by late afternoon.  A hummer came around. 

This evening, a Carolina wren has been busy under the feeder.
