A male ruby throat appeared at breakfast, but didn't drink from the feeder. I thought the juice must need changing, but latter a female did have a nice breakfast. Meanwhile the female goldfinch went back and forth among all the ripe sunflower seed heads. The regulars mostly stuck to the feeder though a chickadee tried to imitate the goldfinch.
In the late morning, an odd dragonfly I think may have been a shadow darner (or a clubtail?) landed on the retaining wall. The wrens were still busy at the birdhouse. A titmouse came to the feeder. The overcast got thicker and grayer and more suggestive of rain.
At lunch a flurry of birds visited: titmice, a pine warbler I almost
mistook for a goldfinch, a Carolina wren, a hummer, and two great crested flycatchers. The squirrel with the white spot foraged around the patio. Then the rain began, gently at first, then hard with lightning and thunder.
