Gloom

Dark wisps hustled East under the overcast.  A cormorant paddled upstream.  Squirrels investigated the patio.

Rain fell in the late morning.  When it stopped around noon, chickadees flocked to the feeder.  A Carolina wren visited its favorite spots.  The birds still seem very wary so I suspect the hawk scared them while we were gone and the back yard was left to wildlife. Two buzzards circled in between bouts of rain. 

The rain returned in bands all afternoon and evening, clouds streaming East as though it were time-lapse photography. There was a brief clearing at sunset, but it did not last.
