A little rain spattered the glass but didn't do much else. I returned mid morning and was greeted by a male towhee. A finch family was very busy with fledglings. A squirrel tried very hard to rob the feeder. A snowy egret hung around the dam outfall.
At lunch, first bluebirds, then a blue jay, came for mealworms. Titmice and house finches stuck to sunflower seeds till a squirrel chased them off.
Around 4pm, breaks appeared in the overcast and by 5pm the sun was shining in a clear sky. A hummer visited at supper time and the female bluebird was back. She expressed her disappointment at the empty dish and flew off, but must have been watching because when I added some she came right back.
At 8:30pm small cottony clouds turned pink and the light faded.
