Blue sky morning

Goldfinches joined the regulars for seeds.  Dragonflies were out by mid morning.  The black swallowtail was back.  White spot the squirrel came to forage.  The day grew hot and humid.  Egrets gathered at the dam outfall where the fresh water splashed into the brackish creek. The two smaller were snowy egrets. 

Clouds passed through, but no storm today.  A skink enjoyed the heat.  I saw titmice, a brown thrasher, and a great crested flycatcher.  A snowy egret and a great blue heron joined the egret at the dam outfall.  A blue dasher shared a bamboo pole with a widow skimmer.  A biting fly drove me inside. 

Toward evening, a small fox nosed in the mulch across the pool.  The sun descended into a band of cloud on the Western horizon.
