Dripping

The mist was almost thick as fog earlier.  Everything is dripping.  Cardinals and chickadees have been to the feeder. Bees have discovered the camellias.

By late afternoon, it was somewhat drier and I sat outside while chickadees and cardinals fed.  A small flock - at least 4 - of catbirds flew around the dogwoods, then decided they needed a bath.  I think a mockingbird joined them briefly.  Three herons passed overhead and a male kingfisher announced he was using the dock.
