A thunderstorm woke me at 5:30am. It dumped a lot of water in the next couple of hours. The rest of the morning was dry but mostly cloudy. Three egrets and a heron clustered at the dam outfall.
I saw dragonflies with yellow bodies at the physical therapy parking lot. An amberwing popped up out of the grass as I pulled in our driveway. A black swallowtail was egging in the back yard and a slaty skimmer was on a perch. A couple of hummers chased through the yard.
After lunch a great crested flycatcher appeared. A fiery skipper worked its way across the patch of portulaca. A bit later a much larger silver spotted skimmer posed beautifully, but I'd left the camera indoors fearing rain. After much grumbling of thunder, a brief shower passed through around 4pm.
