Heavy dark overcast

The male towhee was checking out the wet mulch.  I see it most often after rain.  Cardinals and finches on the feeder.  A brown thrasher is up in the dogwood.  It looks like rain but so far, none has fallen. Now a hairy woodpecker is in the dogwood and the brown thrasher is down under the feeder.  The thrasher rises up and then hammers down with its beak.  Is it breaking open a seed or killing a bug?  A sparrow is hanging around in the background - I think it's a white throat. I have not seen any activity at the birdhouse.  Sticks are visible in the entry.
