Cold rain

At breakfast there were the usual cardinals, finches, and chickadees plus a Carolina wren on the feeder, yellow rumped warblers and downy woodpeckers on the suet, and on the ground, juncos and white throated sparrows.  The rain was fairly heavy.  I was gone till nearly noon.

At lunch, titmice  and a goldfinch showed up.  A female junco got up on the suet.  A blue jay just hung out.  Pelicans, great blue herons, and hooded mergansers fished.  The rain diminished but the days stayed raw.
