Cloudy

The streak of amazing weather may have run its course.  Titmice argued with hummers over the water well in the feeder that's supposed to keep out ants.  Then a goldfinch showed up to get a drink.  Meanwhile the house finch fledgling appeared to beg from a male cardinal!  Maybe it just saw red?

One hummer tried out the rosemary flowers.  Mockingbirds appeared with fledglings.  A couple young grackles poked around the mulch. A family of four doves did the same.  Then a molting male towhee poked under the feeder.  A robin checked out the dogwood.  Lots and lots of house finches tipped the feeder.

There were butterflies and dragonflies but no photos.  A fat female skink ambled over to the rosemary.  A blue jay feather spiraled into the grass.  A drizzle began in the late afternoon but didn't amount to anything.
