All the usual birds visit the feeder: cardinals, chickadees, finches, and a titmouse. A pair of squirrels playing chase almost bowled over a female cardinal in the mulch.On the ground a couple of white throat sparrows forage. One has a brilliantly colored face - male? The gray light is good for photography, but in this picture at first I could not even see the sparrow against the wet mulch. If not for the face stripes I would have thought the camera missed him. Click on the photo and look for an asterisk in yellow, white and black.
As evening is coming on, the cloud cover is finally breaking up. The cardinal couple came by for an evening snack.
