Rain overnight

It is gray and dripping, but that doesn't bother the birds.  The male towhee visited along with cardinals, finches, chickadees, and wrens. And it is raining again, mid morning.

It stopped raining for now, so I grabbed the hummer feeder and evicted the ants.  Time to clean and refill it, given the warm weather.

The sky has cleared and a hummingbird noticed the fresh juice.  The towhee came back in the sunshine.  A wren was busy around the birdhouse. 

In the late afternoon, the hummer returned and the female towhee showed up.  Two mallard drakes had some spa time in the pool.  The clouds boiled up in the West, blocking the sun and making beams and shadow streaks.
