Rain mist

I thought it was fog at first, but now the rain is falling strongly.  Little birds were breakfasting early - chickadee, titmouse, sparrow and junco - but now all are under cover.  Crows hung around for a while then flew across the creek.  An egret flew by.

Maybe a half hour later, a wren hit the feeder.  Doves and the female towhee joined the sparrows and juncos in the wet mulch.   Geese are out on the creek and a pelican went by.  Eventually the nuthatches braved the rain.  Cardinals and finches added some bright spots. 

The rain slacked off before lunch and lots of pelicans are out cruising the creek.  The feeder and mulch stay busy.
