Much greener

The rain revived everything.  A Carolina wren gobbled the rain-soaked crumbs of bark butter balls.

At lunch, the Halloween pennant was back atop the hackberry.  A couple of great crested flycatchers prowled through the trees.  They could have dined well on the bees and wasps that crowded the mountain mint.  Something stung me in the water. 

A yellow crowned night heron perched on a redwood limb and preened despite our presence.  Blue dashers, a slaty skimmer, and twelve-spotted skimmers hunted the tiny biters that wanted blood for their eggs.  A swallow flew over heading West in a hurry.
