We continue to get heavy rains. The last one was with lots of wind and it gave us over an inch of rain. You can see the wind was from the east as the water is still clinging to the window glass.
I read that the mourning dove can hatch and fledge three or four nest fulls in one season. Can you see why we can identify the new young ones. The adult is on the right. I looked up the word fledge and it means that when a bird fills out enough feathers to be able to fly.
They first act like explorers wonder what is going on out there in this world. The morning dove prefers a flat area to eat from. They love the spillover of seed on the deck.
My black swallowtail returned the next day but had damaged wings on the top of its one side I hurried out to take photos of it this time with my good camera and it stayed long enough for me to get one shot. Then it flew off to another neighbor's backyard.
It was a hot day again today. We had a thunderstorm in the early morning with strong winds. The day cleared up and it is a beautiful summer day. More storms are predicted. Thanks for stopping by today.
