Rain coming?

Rain was predicted but the morning had muted sunlight.  A pelican flew over the creek and geese were out.  White throats and a couple of juncos tussled with finches for the sunflowers.  A yellow rump visited the suet.  On Facebook, an interesting discussion of crow roosts produced this link.

As I pulled into the library, I noticed that the sky to the South was pleated with clouds though the sun was strong.  When I got home, three male mergansers were chugging along upstream.  White throats scurried around while a warbler ate suet.  At lunch, pelicans cruised over the creek.  A great blue heron landed on the boat-lift across the creek. 

The afternoon clouded over quickly.  More juncos and white throats foraged but the feeder was down toward the end.  I added water to the birdbath even though rain may refill it.

By evening it was getting foggy but the rain did not start till after 9pm.
