Cloudy morning

The wrens are still frantic and the birdhouse has gotten quite loud.  The male towhee was kicking mulch around.  And the feeder regulars visited.  A few drops of rain fell, nothing much.  

Later the female towhee perched on the railing.  Around noon, a couple of titmice visited the feeder.  A skink maneuvered across the wall. A blue dasher hunted bugs from perches in the rosemary. 

The afternoon was a bit brighter.  A brown and yellow swallowtail (giant or palamedes?) flitted past the window.  Later, a gray hairstreak visited the morning glory and the sunflower sprouts.

Later, there was a light rain that wet the pavement.  A hummer fed during supper.
