Cloudy

At breakfast we were visited by at least two titmice, a female downy woodpecker, a female hummingbird, cardinals and chickadees but no finches, and an extremely persistent squirrel that kept disturbing the birds by trying to get into the feeder. The cat showed up at the far end of the pool where it either was drinking or trying to catch invisible fish. 

We were gone most of the day.  The sky cleared during the morning but the clouds returned before we did.  The female hummer had a stakeout on a dead dogwood twig so she could dash down to defend her feeder. There was a small orb web beside her.  She chased a cardinal, then she had to preen. She kept on chugging juice till dark.  A small moth rested on the window.
