Come-and-go cloud cover

 The sky looks like a gray mattress.  A female cardinal has possession of the feeder despite the efforts of one white throated sparrow.  White throats are busy below and the birdbath holds some overnight rainwater. The creek is ruffled this morning. 

A Carolina wren hunkered down against the wind on the gas grill hose. Then wind out of the West cleared the sky.  Leaves are tossing high and skittering along the ground, pretending to be birds. 

During lunch, a bald eagle soared downstream.

Clouds returned in the afternoon and cleared otf again at sunset.  Cardinals and white throats kept feeding till dark. No other feeder birds today, I don't know why.
