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.
