Cold Front

Morning was sunny and hot.   The wrens were working hard. So were the wasps on the mint. 

I saw Halloween pennants and Carolina saddlebags at the treetops and blue dashers on the bamboo stakes. A dragonfly that didn't perch may have been the same as the red one yesterday.  There were small butterflies as well.  A skink came out at lunch. 

The cherry tree attracted bluebirds and blue jays.  A female house finch appeared to have a naked, featherless breast.  The male goldfinch was thirsty. 

Clouds built up in the afternoon and the wind grew gusty.  The thunderstorms arrayed along the front arrived around 4pm.  After the front passed, The sky stayed overcast and gentle rain fell off and on.  Hummers were not deterred.
