Hummingbirds of both sexes were thirsty. The female owned the feeder while the male visited the Mexican sage. Dragonflies were hunting. What appeared to be two male slaty skimmers battled over a preferred perch. But one was noticeably smaller than the other. I think one may have been a great blue skimmer. Patches of cloud flicked the sun off and back on and everything was still wet from the overnight rain.
A short, light rain fell a little after noon. During lunch, a Carolina wren stopped by the mealworms, but flew off immediately. Did it see me reach for the camera? An egret waited by the dam outfall. Later another stalked past the yard.
