Rain


It started soft but now it is really coming down.  Presumably this is thanks to Tropical Storm depression Beryl.

Toward noon it slacked off some.  The hummingbird came to dine.  A finch took shelter on the back of the seed feeder.  Chickadees and cardinals were hungry enough to endure the rain.  A mallard drake took a bath in the pool. The male towhee stopped in.  Something (a wren?) poked its head out of the birdhouse briefly.  Two male house finches did not share the feeder nicely.  Then the rain picked up again. 

The rain finally stopped about sunset and the clouds were very dramatically lit.
