Humid

I squeegeed the windows twice before the temperature rose past the dew point.  House finches were busy on the feeder, as was a Carolina wren.  The sun is shining but the sky is white. A rumpled brown thrasher preened on the fence as I went to pick blueberries,

Dragonflies were all around the berry bushes.  Over the course of the day, I saw skimmers, pondhawks, saddlebags, twelve spots, and an amberwing.  A palamedes swallowtail flitted leisurely between trees and bushes. 

Titmice came to the feeder whenever they thought I was otherwise occupied.  Egrets and two little green herons and two osprey flew over.  Goldfinches found something in the top of the oak tree. Sunset was quite colorful and the moon is approaching first quarter.
