Rain is still predicted, but the sky is constipated. Chickadees and finches came for breakfast, along with a squirrel. The hummer feeder has fresh juice and a hummer has approved. It did rain, in Chesapeake and Portsmouth. Finches and a bald faced female cardinal and this hummer were all the birds I saw in the afternoon. Oh, and a distant egret, and a pair of crows making romantic coughing sounds. A dead frog was near the birdbath. Azalea moth caterpillars are working on one plant out front and several others look pretty chewed. I noticed because something left a bracket fungus lying loose on the mulch and when I went to see that, there were the caterpillars on the nearby azalea.
At last, the rain has arrived. So now, of course, all the birds are hungry. Hummers are zipping around, dodging raindrops, as evening falls.
