A thunderstorm was predicted for noon. The clouds finally arrived around 4pm and the rain about 7pm. White throats began the day with baths. Chickadees got in on the action. An
orange crowned warbler visited but the commotion may have been too much.
The geese came back several times with their goslings and extended family. An egret landed by the dock, then I think it saw me and flew off. A downy woodpecker returned to the suet in the afternoon. Then the yellow rumped warbler appeared in his summer plumage.
A fragile forktail (
Ischnura posita) damselfly posed briefly for me, unlike all the big darners that kept swooping past. Tiger swallowtails were flying as well. A wasp visited the rue and a huge bee banged on the window. It was a windy day, especially after the clouds built up. Petals and dead flowers flew everywhere. The creek was littered with them and dusty with pollen.
