Still cool

The temperature dropped with the last couple of days of overcast.  There is sun but also cloud cover over much of the early morning sky.  The female towhee came this morning along with cardinals finches, titmice and doves.  The birdhouse tenant is back redecorating.  It perched on a dead twig in the dogwood and sang at lunch. 


There is a grackle without a tail feeding a fledgling who has a tail.  It's the darker bird on the left.  The lack of tail is very obvious when it flies, but very hard to photograph.
