The sky was hazy to overcast and the breeze seemed ineffective against the humidity. I saw a bird perch at the top of a pine that I'm fairly certain was a great crested flycatcher. The light was poor so I judged by shape. Blue jays were happy that I put out more barkbutter balls. Lots of red flowers bloomed - roses, gladiolus - but no hummers. The first daisy bloomed too.
Skinks prowled but I didn't see dragonflies. Since they're both insect eaters I thought the humid weather would attract them both. The first skink was very wide in the middle and had a regrown tail. I couldn't see all of the second but it looked more streamlined. Both were very red in the face. Later, a glittering greenbottle
blow fly walked slowly on the patio concrete. Apparently they tend to seem docile like that.
