Everything drips

The rain looks like the sky is dripping into the birdbath.  Drips hang on the camellia leaves.  Chickadees were up early, though it is still pretty gloomy and I hesitate to call it day.  Titmice have joined them.  A pelican and herons flew over the creek while a bufflehead paddled below.

Toward noon, a watery sunlight appeared.  Nuthatches, a Carolina wren, and sparrows visited.   I think they were song sparrows.  It is very warm and bees are around, as they were yesterday. 

I just took 54 out-of-focus photos.  Grrrrrrr.  Anyway, the sparrows are white-throats.   A half dozen doves dropped in.  The sparrows rush into the rosemary whenever startled.  Several squirrels were working all over the yard.
