Apparently a cold front is passing through and the temperature is predicted to drop tonight. Birds were busy this morning. Finches and chickadees competed for the feeder while three doves and two white throated sparrows foraged below. A female cardinal and a titmouse visited very briefly and a Carolina wren flitted around the grill. On the creek, Canada geese cruised by.
By lunch they were all gone. A couple of egrets flew high over the trees. Geese returned upstream. The clouds thickened but the wind dropped.
A light rain began in the late afternoon. Six mourning doves and a pair of cardinals came to the mulch under the feeder. I wonder if they sensed the impending cold? I hear it is snowing in Ohio.
