Warming

The newspaper thought it would be sunny but rain began before 9am.  At breakfast, we were visited by cardinals, chickadees, titmice, and white throated sparrows.  A chickadee chased a titmouse off the feeder.  I think titmice are the pacifists of the songbird order.  An egret hunted by the dam outfall. 

The sky began clearing an hour later and soon the sun was shining. The day grew very warm, but windy.  I have grown very tired of the went lately.  Titmice were eager for lunch.  Cabbage butterflies and crane flies were flitting around.  We were out much of the afternoon.  As is often the case, the last bird before dark was a cardinal.
