The rain quit by breakfast leaving the air warm and wet. Sunshine came and went with the broken cloud cover. The oriole returned and brought a female along. I saw nuthatches, goldfinches, a titmouse, downy woodpeckers, a wren, pine warblers, and white throated sparrows.
A flock of robins and red winged blackbirds landed. The robins flitted through the trees while the blackbirds walked around the pool. Then they took off and I saw about thirty blackbirds.
A male kingfisher perched on the dock bench to whack the life out of the fish it had caught. The bird kept it up for at least a quarter of an hour.
An afternoon meeting took place high up in the Westin with an impressive view. The clouds lined up in rows and took color from the sun. But by the time I headed home there was overcast again with the moon almost hidden. Of course I hadn't taken a camera.
