An egret was taking early advantage of the water flowing out from the lake which seems to attract fish. A cardinal had some bark butter. I never saw a jay, but I think they slipped past me.
Several dragonflies danced in the air over the pine. A small black bee fed on the herbs. A Needham's skimmer used the bamboo stake perch. The female goldfinch returned. The wrens were not discouraged by yesterday's wind and rain.
Clouds moved in by supper time. The sinking sun turned them orange. Then around 8pm, a writhing storm swept out of the North, first lightning and high winds, then a downpour. After about three quarters of an hour,a rim of blue appeared in the North while the thunder crashed overhead. The lightning was nearly constant but mostly cloud to cloud.
