Overnight rain

The rising sun highlighted the edges of the clouds that were moving fast to the East, but now all is gray. Tonight will be the longest night as the solstice is at 12:30 am tomorrow, just after midnight our time.

Now it is raining softly. Pelicans are cruising the creek and a bufflehead swam past. Otherwise it is quiet and nothing is coming to the feeder.

I'm looking at Virginia Beach Naturally: A Guide to Enjoying the Wildlife of Virginia Beach, Virginia by Scott F. Bastian and already I've found names for some of the unidentifiables of this past year. I will go back and correct past entries
