| Morning Shade for the Parkside Hummers |
Leaving home without so much as a windbreaker feels slightly wrong, as if I'm forgetting something, or taking an unnecessary risk. But the real risk is more likely to be dehydration. And what a nice break, by the way, to be able to head out the door in shorts and t-shirt on a warm, fog-free day.
I bought a box fan to put in the window at night to replace the 75-degree indoor air with 68-degree outdoor air. It takes a long time to make headway, but it feels good to be able to do something.

| I did a double-take when I walked past this house, then quickly retrieved a camera from my knapsack, surprised that my luck was holding as the coyote remained focused on me. I finally got the camera out and began to zoom in, which is when I realized it was just a cut-out. Cute. |

| I watched from a distance as the red-tailed hawk glided into the tree, and I wondered if it had a nest in there. Nope. Just a crow-free rest stop. (I'd earlier seen a red-tail being mobbed by maybe a dozen crows.) |

| A second heron was trying to keep cool at the top of a pine tree. |

| There were three herons on the little island today. |
