Too hot

During breakfast, a brown thrasher landed on the feeder post, but it flew off as I reached for the camera.  An egret waited below the dam.  I was gone from 10am to about 4:30pm.  My car temperature gauge read 102°F and it was in the shade. The official high was 93°F which broke a record from 1881. 

A jumping spider was back on the screen door.  A squirrel sprawled on the patio, too hot to move.  A hummer struggled to stay on the feeder in the gusty wind.  On the lake there appeared to be an invasion of prehistoric wildlife: four cormorants and a great blue heron.
