Hazy, hot, and humid

Kind of quiet - just finches and doves.  I thought the seed feeder might be empty, but it isn't quite.  A black swallowtail passed through. A morning glory is blooming.  I cut most of them back where they were crowding the other plants. 

A large flock of geese sailed overhead.  A bluejay stayed in the trees.  A Carolina wren made a brief visit.  A tiny skink and a full grown one went up the wall of the house.

It is still very humid and the birdbath has not evaporated at all.  Mosquitoes are thick around the figs which are getting eaten by birds.  The argiope still guards the door and a different spider has hatchlings up under the overhang.  The paper wasps are still hanging around their nest.  Nothing seems to be interested in the lantana.

Rain fell around 5:30 even though the sun was shining.  It made a lovely rainbow to the East.  Afterward, a yellow crowned night heron preened on a piling.
