More sun

Cumulus puffs are rolling East.  Titmice joined chickadees and finches at the feeder.  The squirrel with the white spot foraged along with a youngster who tested the feeder latch.  Dragonflies are out early. I saw what I think were blue dashers of both sexes.  They are guarding the blueberries, along with spiders.  That's probably how we got bit the other day. 

The house wren is singing and another answers from the next yard.  The Carolina wren visited the feeder.  A hummingbird came twice but I didn't see it actually feed.  A female widow skimmers has made black and gold flashes while a golden winged skimmer was a streak of orange.  A black swallowtail hung around briefly. 

Despite the heat it has been pleasant with a breeze and lower humidity.  A woodpecker flitted between our oak and the neighbor's pine.  It was robin-size and I saw no red so I think it was a hairy.   The swifts were flying high and calling higher.  A twelve-spotted skimmer darted around making me waste pictures of blue sky. 

There are little black bees on the lavender smaller than honeybees.  A little green heron rested on a piling.  And the geese tried to visit again.
