The timing of my meetings was the same as the few nice moments of the day. A male hummer came for breakfast. A Carolina wren went over to see if there was anything tasty. Meanwhile, a pine warbler descended on the barkbutter balls. A female downy woodpecker checked to see if suet had happened. It hadn't. A female goldfinch visited the sunflower and the seed feeder briefly before retreating to a tree. A white breasted nuthatch persisted, despite larger birds, and eventually got to the seeds.
At lunch, a ragged bluebird and a fledgling wanted mealworms. The fledgling cardinal felt bold enough to move up to the feeder perch. It also threatened a house finch. The female goldfinch was back. The first rain shower passed through at lunch time and there were repeats till after 4pm. Then the sun came out but the air was thick with humidity, especially since it had dipped below 80°.
