Dark and wet

Intermittent rain.  Geese and ducks are out on the creek.  The feeder was full of finches which frustrated a nuthatch.  Cornell has an article on the nuthatch eruption.  A goldfinch came to the feeder.  A lot of crows gathered in the front yard, I've no idea why.  There are bird flocks up in the trees, silhouetted against the sky.  They may be blackbirds or robins or I don't know what.

There's still a lot of fishing on the creek - pelicans, an egret, ducks.  The feeder got busy at lunch with titmice, nuthatches, finches and chickadees.  Both kinds of sparrows, juncos, doves, and Carolina wrens foraged below. The white throat is at the bottom and the song sparrow above.
