A goldfinch pair visited at breakfast. A female cardinal chased another away, then snuggled with her mate on the feeder perch. Avian soap opera. Five orange daylilies bloomed and a rosebud opened. Rain began mid morning.
While we were eating lunch, lightning flashes were accompanied by thunder that rumbled for a long time. A hummer was not deterred from her feeder. Around 6pm the light dropped and another set of storms rolled through with the same drawn-out, rumbling thunder. The rain was heavier, filling the ant moat. I saw a red bellied woodpecker on the feeder but it was too dark and rain-streaked for a photo.
