Rain early and late

The regulars came to breakfast anyway.  One chickadee followed another around, to its annoyance.  Hummers dodged the raindrops.  At one point, one chased another away.  And I thought I glimpsed a male, but maybe not.

The sun came out mid morning.  After lunch, two families of geese with nearly a dozen goslings camped out in the redwood shade.  But then some started to move uphill toward the freshly cleaned pool.

In the late afternoon things got lively around the feeders.  A downy woodpecker, a parent and  fledgling titmice, and the white breasted nuthatch joined the regulars.  The woodpecker seemed to have precedence.  Hummers came too and a wren hopped around.

The evening clouds were very dramatic and a little scary. Fireflies took advantage of the twilight before the rain.
