A gust of wind created a brief pollen storm, while dead oak flowers continually drifted down all morning. Meanwhile, termites boiled up out of the mulch beside the birdbath to go on their mating flight. I was surprised no predators came for them. The pair of downy woodpeckers visited as did the cardinal pair. The male towhee was back. A titmouse and a starling appeared briefly. White throats have not left yet.
The day began sunny but clouded over as the morning progressed. Blue jays flew across the yard but never came close. A mocking bird did its best to eat suet. The towhee , the starling, the woodpeckers, and the white throats all came back during the afternoon, as did the three regulars.
The clouds got increasingly dark, then rain sprinkles began in the late afternoon.
