Cardinals courted on the feeder perch where he didn't have to work hard to feed her. House finches and chickadees were joined by downy woodpeckers at the feeders. I put out mealworms which were gobbled up by a squirrel. White throats and a male towhee foraged under the feeders and I glimpsed a wren down on the lower patio. An emergence of flying insects, probably mating termites, from the mulch attracted dragonflies.
Yellow pollen made artistic swirls on the water. As night fell, I saw two bright planets, one descending to the West, the other just past zenith. But no moon - tonight is the dark of the moon. Friends reported fog out over the bay but I saw none.
