Dragonfly warz

It is not so cloudy as yesterday.  Titmice, finches and chickadees have been feeding, along with squirrels.  The house wren is bustling about.

The cloud cover comes and goes.   We are having dragonfly dogfights over the perches.  A widow skimmer, a slaty skimmer, and a pondhawk are battling over who gets the top spot.

A bird landed in the tiptop of the redwood - I think it was a great crested flycatcher. A hummingbird came to where the feeder is supposed to be, only I had it inside for a cleaning.

In the late afternoon, a big branch came crashing out of the sweet gum.  Sunset colors were lovely, but the trees obscured much of it.  I peeked out several times to see if the raccoon was back.  The last time, around 10pm, it was peeking in at me.
