No sun

Egrets flew South under a dark sky.  Cormorants followed.  As the daylight grew the pair of Carolina wrens came out to scarf up soggy mealworms.  Rain fell in a half-hearted fashion.  There was not enough light for the camera. 

The day grew fairly warm, but dank.  Around mid day I saw a song sparrow, a house finch, chickadees and a Carolina wren on the suet.  Later a downy woodpecker showed up.  Then, like an escaping spot of sunshine, there appeared a female Baltimore oriole.  I scrambled to put some jelly out, but the photos show the oriole eating a berry, probably a beautyberry.

A pair of buffleheads flew downstream, him flashing white wings.
