A gray fox came and sat on the patio and surveyed the yard and then left in no particular hurry. The crows screamed at it but the finch on the feeder paid no attention. Clearly the fox is a nursing female needing a little quiet time. A titmouse visited the feeder and the sparrows are still working in the mulch.
The pool is open and the mallards are happy. After lunch a cardinal tried to share the feeder with a wren but the wren won. Clouds built up and rain began around 4:30pm. The clouds look very dark and dramatic. A female towhee foraged in the mulch with a squirrel. A bit later sun was shining through the rain, but I could not fine a rainbow.
When I got home after 7pm, there was a mallard on the garage roof like a weather vane. Shortly thereafter, the rain really pounded down for a while. There were waterfalls over the gutters. It lessened and the female towhee returned briefly.
