Summer Arrives

...and the temperatures are well in the 90s. The students timed their departure well to avoid the heat. At least the campus, with nobody around, is placid for a week or so, until summer session starts.

Yesterday I returned to my sketching spot from the other day on Putah Creek and did a little digiscoping. The white-tailed kite didn’t stay at his perch long enough for me to get the scope set up, but I spotted this black-crowned night heron with a nest overhanging the creek. Not a bad location—- it’s definitely afternoon dip weather.
