Mystery bird

A bluebird visited that might have been a molting adult or possible one hatched this year.  A molting male followed.  Then a male pine warbler arrived, also shedding feathers.  A commotion in the hackberry revealed a bird with no field marks that I could see.  It was replaced by a chickadee. 

A tiger swallowtail flew past and disappeared but a black swallowtail hung around the rue depositing eggs.  Ominous clouds passed over and there were several brief showers.  Then a real thunderstorm arrived around 5pm.  It finally dissipated around sunset leaving streaky pink clouds and smeared windows.  .
