Damp

Enough rain fell overnight to fill the birdbath.  The morning sky was overcast occasionally pierced by the sun.  The creek surface was unmarred by wind or wildlife. 

I was trying to photograph a titmouse when a goldfinch pair appeared.  And, as I photographed them, a male red-bellied woodpecker scared them off. He got a seed before the counterweight closed the feeder.  Then he moved to the suet.  Yellow rumped warblers, white throated sparrows, and downy woodpeckers also came to breakfast.  Cardinals and chickadees showed up but house finches have not been so regular this Spring.
