Last night had a lovely sunset. A shift in wind yesterday dispersed the swamp smoke but it is still this morning. No haze is apparent.
A humming bird and a chickadee were both in view for a moment and the size difference was shocking. I'm accustomed to thinking of chickadees as tiny birds but next to a hummer they are bulky - 3 or 4 times as big.
The hibiscus is blooming up a storm after its mid-summer rest. The Halloween pennant dragonfly is still hanging out on the same perch. And the mockingbird is still around.
It looks like one of the hummingbirds, the one who prefers to perch, may be turning into a boy. It got up in my face today and it has streaks on its throat. I think it may be a bit smaller than the other one as well.
And now the wind has swung around, smoke is in the air, and clouds are boiling up. I should have chosen a different blog title. No rain though thus far.
I changed back to the original hummingbird feeder base. No perch but no drips.
