Rain

It was warm and still and overcast when I rehung the clean hummer feeder.  Yellow rumped warblers, downy woodpeckers, and white throated sparrows came for breakfast.  A pair of courting cardinals tipped the feeder counterweight but didn't notice as he fed her.  A towhee was up in the sweet gum.

Spring showers kept everything wet but didn't put a drinkable amount of water in the birdbath.  I need to fill it as the pool is now open and the birds have lost the pool cover puddle.  Downy woodpeckers were back at lunch.  A bee tried to get satisfaction from the hummer feeder.  A crow ran an osprey all over the sky.

A deluge started around 5pm and rain continued into the evening.  It certainly filled the birdbath!  Wet chickadees and grumpy cardinals joined us for supper.
