Midnight robbery

Early light revealed a break-in at the Sunflower Cafe.  A thief had wrenched the feeder lose from its hanger, but didn't make off with much.  Repairs were swift and the establishment was open for business by 7:30am when a line of customers appeared: nuthatches, Carolina wrens, juncos, cardinals, finches, and sparrows.  However, there were no witnesses.  A member of the raccoon gang is suspected though one bystander speculated on a Dismal Swamp bear being the culprit.

Rain started before noon.  Birds continued to visit, including titmice.  I believe the warbler was at work on the rosemary again. A male bufflehead was diving in the rain. I heard bird twitter outside the window as I blogged, but now all I hear is wind-driven rain. It is coming from the East.
