Dull sky became downpour

K saw two adult foxes and a cub when she went for the newspaper.  I glimpsed a hummingbird that didn't stay.  I think I need to check the feeders.  Both towhees came to forage.  Egrets are out on the creek.

The feeders were fine.  The overcast broke up, a few sprinkles fell in the morning, and thunderheads climbed up the sky to the South.  The first downpour began the minute we got lunch off the grill.  Thank you, whoever was responsible! 

After a while, the clouds moved off Northeast and the sun came back.  Birds and squirrels hurried to stock up.  Then another deluge began and it rained the rest of the day, alternating heavy and light. Thunder and lightning have been in evidence, but nary a rainbow.  The soggy finches and cardinal overloaded the feeder.
