A rain shower passed through after 8am. Before that, red tempered cardinals and finches argued. Juncos and white throats scoured the ground for fallen seeds. A Carolina wren protested the empty suet feeder. A titmouse got to the seeds. Down by the dam, an egret and a bufflehead fished. An osprey soared overhead.
The wind shoved the clouds off to the Northeast. Late morning through mid day was mostly sunny. I tried a friend's trick with the suet - leaving the packaging on all but one side and hanging it horizontally with the open side down. At lunch, nothing had discovered it. In facts there were no birds at all. The white butterfly flitted and fat bees bumbled around. The narcissus I think of as fried eggs opened overnight.
Another shower passed through in the late afternoon while the sun was out low in the West. Geese and a mallard drake ignored it. Tiny sassafras flowers opened and sweet gum flower spikes poked up. Sunset was colorful, tangy orange to the West and pink overhead and North. The sky seemed to be clearing.
