The hibiscus picked a poor day to bloom. Rain slowly turned into drizzle. The air was cool and damp and still. Chickadees and titmice and occasional cardinals came for seeds. The dish feeders stayed covered. A hummingbird cussed out a chickadee. The hummer visited both the milkweed and its feeder throughout the day. A great blue heron landed up in the trees with a raspy honk. A parade of squirrels leapt between the redwood and the hickory. Some squirrels fed on either the immature seeds or the flower buds in the dogwood. The Argiope was still hanging out in the azalea, but no sign of the orchard spider. I didn't see any insects.
