Patchy overcast. The hibiscus are brighter than the sky.
I've only seen the hummers this morning, maybe the others are sleeping off yesterday's activity. A rabbit was grazing the black medick.
Some house finches finally got up. There are very tiny black swallowtail caterpillars on the rue, no bigger than the comma in this sentence. The butterflies keep laying
eggs but the birds keep eating the caterpillars before they get to the size where they change from black with a white saddle to striped. Here are examples of both.
It has gotten much sunnier than this morning. The rabbit is getting quite bold, grazing about 20 feet from us with apparent unconcern. Maybe it's been taking lessons from the hummingbird.
