Cloudy

The Canada geese continued to try to sneak their goslings past us to the grass seed.  The titmice continued to stuff themselves and the downy woodpecker dropped by.  A hummer visited its feeder. I could see the blur of the house wren coming and going.  A mockingbird perched in the beautyberry.  A yellow rumped warbler in summer finery perched on the post.  Probably it wintered South of here and was on its way back North.

There were sprinkles around 1:30 and a real downpour about 2:30 and sunshine by 4pm.  The geese kept coming.  Once when I shooed them I heard the wren cussing at me.  The titmice kept coming back too.  When a cardinal chased a pair of finches off the feeder, they landed on the wet step railing.
