The creek flowed over the lower, land-ward end of the dock when I got up. The birdbath was full so the rain must have gotten heavier than yesterday. Low, dark clouds zoomed out of the Northeast under the general overcast. The Canada geese have taken to the streets.
I didn't see much at lunchtime, mostly chickadees. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention because around 4pm the yard was quite lively despite the wind and wet. At least four doves were promenading. Cormorants, geese, ducks, and crows flew over. A pair of flickers probed the mulch for creepy crawlies forced up by the wet. Blue jays were all over the place. I think, like the squirrels, they were after dogwood berries. A male red bellied woodpecker showed up very briefly. Something small and brown went up a tree trunk but the light was too low for the camera to catch more than a blob. The gloom had moonflowers opening in the afternoon, only to be torn by the wind.
