We had thunderstorms in waves all night and they left about an inch of water. Fish were attracted to the increased volume flowing from the dam and egrets took advantage. I was fooled in the morning by a sprinkle of rain under an overcast sky. Then in the afternoon, a noisy thunderstorm rolled through, and again only sprinkled. Both male and female hummers made repeat visits. Titmice came to the seed feeder. Today was probably the last for the hibiscus because of the leaf damage.
A black swallowtail egged the rue. A buckeye came back to the mint. It flashed its eyespots at wasps that got too close. A fiery skipper also was annoyed by wasps. A variety of dragonflies appeared, including a widow skimmer, slaty skimmers, and of course blue dashers.
