Come-and-go rain

Rain, overcast, wind, and sunshine made a very changeable morning.  There was activity in the cherry tree early on, but I couldn't see clearly which birds were involved.  Hummers, titmice, wrens, and blue jays were visible, along with the usual chickadees, house finches, and cardinals. 

A few dragonflies, bees and wasps, and a black swallowtail ventured out in the lulls.  I saw a full grown skink and then a tiny (new-hatched?) blue tail.

In the afternoon, a male goldfinch appeared to be trying to get something out of the ant moat in the hummer feeder.  A young mockingbird hunted cherries.  The cicada killer proved as impossible to photograph as ever.
