Curtains of mist


It is only supposed to be partly cloudy but a fine rain is blowing out of the East.  A titmouse was on the feeder but it left and did not return.  The sparrows remain, along with the usual three species: cardinal, chickadee, and house finch.

The Carolina wrens appeared in the afternoon shortly before the sky cleared. A mallard drake stopped for a drink from the pool cover.  Some sort of swallow or martin flew swift and high. The deciduous azalea, or pinxter flower, is blooming and the pecan catkins are almost ready to pollinate.
