The paper says half an inch of rain fell but I think we got more like an inch and a half. A chickadee has been busy at the feeder. A cardinal came and looked and left. I'd better check if there are still seeds when I rehang the hummer feeder. There aren't - got to fill that too.
A pair of mallards tried honeymooning in the pool. I evicted them. Several egrets and a great blue heron flew upstream.
In the afternoon, several cabbage butterflies and a dragonfly I think was a halloween pennant flitted through. Then the male cardinal showed up with a fledgling. The young bird foraged for itself but begged whenever the adult was near. It gave me a very suspicious look as I took pictures.
Toward evening a rabbit stopped by to weed the flower bed. It has patches of long fur and short - I think the warm Spring messed up its shedding schedule.
