It is raining but there isn't much wind so far. A band of heavier rain went through and now has slacked off. Squirrels are out in it, though one sheltered on a window sill for a bit. I haven't seen any birds or other wildlife. The storm is supposed to creep Northward all day and pass us around sunset.
A few minutes ago there was a flash of sun but now the rain is back. For the last hour it's been flicking between sun and rain, sometimes at the same time. A wet little squirrel has been chowing down. A male towhee took advantage of a brief lull, then a male finch and a male cardinal showed up. The wind has gotten much gustier and clouds are moving NNW very swiftly.
The sky was nearly clear for a little while at lunch. A brown thrasher came to check out the mulch. Finches kept a wary eye on me. I heard wrens but they stayed out of sight. A chickadee made a belated appearance. Big dragonflies ventured out - maybe green darners but I didn't get a good look.
The wind is getting really high, straight out of the South. Rain is alternating with sun. It cleared some int he afternoon, then began again. I cleared leaves out of the pool. At some point geese left their turds on the patio. Towards evening, a Carolina wren came to the feeder. I heard rain in the night.
