Cold mist

Last night the temperature rose and the snow turned to rain.  It appears we're in for an all day rain.  It is gray and misty, but individual drops are making rings in the birdbath.  We lost power for about three hours during the night.

The birds got a late start.  For a while, all I saw was ruddy ducks and cormorants on the creek and gulls and crows in the air.  By mid morning, the feeder got lively.  White throats were everywhere.  A female towhee took over the feeder while two female cardinals watched.  Later chickadees and titmice came for brunch.  I'm noticing that finches have become scarce this winter.
