Rain clouds and rain birds

The first sight of the morning was a brown thrasher atop the feeder pole against an overcast sky.  Mid morning, rain began.  The usual suspects were joined by Carolina wrens, towhees, and brown thrashers.  The towhees and thrashers made a mess of the wet mulch. 

At one point there were two brown thrashers, but the towhees showed up one-by-one. One female cardinal is losing head feathers.  Two finches joined her on the feeder and overbalanced it.  One finch hoped to the back exactly as if it understood counterweights.
