Rain, mist, fog

We had an early appointment and left in heavy rain.  On the way home, the rain became fog and mist.  When we got back two geese and their five goslings were in the pool.  The goslings needed a platform to get out and it took quite a while for the last one to make it up and over.

The feeder was busy and hummers also visited, but didn't like the juice.  Time to change.  A Carolina wren and a white breasted nuthatch joined titmice and the regulars for sunflower seeds.  I saw laughing gulls over the creek and a great crested flycatcher in the pine. The house wrens ferried food to their hatchlings.    The chickadee fledglings were everywhere getting fed by harried parents.

Toward evening the fog returned.  I saw a firefly and, of course, a slug on the window.
