Light rain

I could have sworn the prediction for today was sunshine.  Instead a very misty rain began at breakfast.  Chickadees came to the feeder anyway.  I saw a male merganser hanging around the dock.  Something hawk-like flew over the house with a beak full of something.  I thought it was a crow till it was too late to take a picture. 

The rain stopped after lunch but the day stayed wet.  A titmouse visited.  Cormorants commuted across the sky in the late afternoon.  The lowest level of clouds streamed West and I saw a few breaks as the light was going.
