Everything was wet but the sun was shining. Clouds blew down from the Northwest. The creek was placid and there was only a light breeze. An egret hung around the dam outfall, but the tide was out and there didn't seem to be any overflow from the lake. 
House wrens were moving into the wood birdhouse. I haven't seen any activity at the plastic house. A couple of titmice visited the feeder. The white throated sparrows were still around. A goldfinch popped up onto the hummer feeder for a second. A downy woodpecker came to see if the suet had returned. It had not. A cardinal pair began to get romantic when the other cardinal pair showed up. There was much chasing around the yard that apparently spoiled the mood. 
At lunch time the wren was scurrying around collecting twigs. A small skink ran past the window on the retaining wall. Bees and wasps congregated around the flowers. The clouds gathered in the afternoon and sprinkled around 4pm, but the thunderstorms passed to the West. Sunset was colorful.
