I was gone most of the day. Down in Chesapeake, I saw a couple of hummers chasing through the trees. Back home, eventually the birds came out: besides the usual three (chickadees, house finches, and cardinals), a male goldfinch, a female towhee, titmice, blue jays, and a blue bird visited. Also there were dragonflies. An egret took up position on a piling. We cleaned and refreshed the hummer feeder.
The Eastern sky was covered by a dark haze while the West had the usual summer afternoon cumulus. I wonder what that portends for tomorrow's weather. Well, it didn't wait for tomorrow - the downpour began around 7pm. It was like being under a waterfall, only with lightning flashes.
