We didn't get much rain from Idelia but the wind contributed a lot of pine needles and leaf shreds to the pool. I still have more clean up work tomorrow. A couple of bumblebees drowned. I either rescued two skinks or one twice. A smarter skink stayed on the upper patio. A female goldfinch drank fresh rainwater from the ant moat before lunching at the seed feeder. The bald blue jay was hungry too.
Hummer wars escalated - two of them zoomed around the patio and back again. The dominant female kept watch from the wild cherry. West Coast hummingbird species share feeders so I don't understand why ruby throats are so territorial.
