Beyond sticky!

It is incredibly humid. The windows are frosted like a glass of iced tea. The birds are stocking up as though they know there will be no feeders dangling in the wind tomorrow.

At lunch, the hummers really went for each other, scaring off the larger birds. They buzzed around like Star Wars fighters - at least three and maybe four of them.

I had another glimpse of the hawk. And a couple of frogs continue to hang out at the pool. Meanwhile a tiny blue-tailed skink chased a cricket that hid behind me. This skink is smaller than the one I saw last year and much smaller than the one I saw last week which no longer has a blue tail.

Two frogs persist in using the pool despite the chlorine. We heard an osprey as the clouds rolled in. The mosquitoes have been horrible today for our pre-hurricane party. Tomorrow Irene.
