There wasn't any activity at the feeders. A feeble spatter of rain began falling around 10am. I saw some hoodies on the creek, but no cormorants.
The clouds disappeared between 3 and 3pm. A jittery flock of birds zipped around the hackberry, unfortunately back-lighted by the sky. I think it included a titmouse, a chickadee, a nuthatch, and goodness knows what else. Several of the birds were fluttering around pine cones. I also saw several blue jays and glimpsed a male yellow bellied sapsucker.
In the sunshine, a great blue heron stood like a post next to the piling that guides the neighbor's floating dock. Clouds blocked the setting sun and by 6:30pm there were lightning flashes and sporadic heavy rain into the night.
