Wet

It rained through the night and turned to mist in the morning.  Titmice and cardinals came to the feeder.  Juncos, white throats, and doves poked through the mulch beneath.  The red bellied woodpecker came to look at the empty suet cage, as did a Carolina wren.  It was really too dim for good photos, but I did get a sharp picture of the brownish female junco.

The sky cleared at lunch and the first quarter moon was visible.  Fish were jumping on the creek but I only saw one duck, maybe a bufflehead.  A downy woodpecker stopped by to see if there was fresh suet. There wasn't.  The titmice got bold enough to visit the feeder behind my back.  A squirrel ate oak blossoms.  By mid afternoon clouds were returning and the sky was white again before 5pm.  Toward evening, a hooded merganser pair fished.
