Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Not much sun
The morning sky was white, then pleated, then it began to clear slowly. A hummer arrived early. A cicada killer looked for a spot to start a nest. The regular feeder birds showed up, but no others.
Later a great crested flycatcher put in an appearance. Skinks came out despite the clouds. Dragonflies did too. A few small butterflies and moths were out. The hummer with no dark streaks on its throat hung around and posed. I heard a blue jay but never saw it. Crows and geese, of course, were around. Clouds built up again in the late afternoon and started to sprinkle.
