What with the rain, we were late opening the Sunflower Cafe. Chickadees shrugged and hopped on the new brick of suet. A Carolina wren was determined to find a way into the seed feeder but eventually gave up. A white throated sparrow foraged in the wet mulch. In the middle of the morning a downy woodpecker discovered the suet.
Two male hooded mergansers cruised around the creek. A couple of egrets and a great blue heron hunted under the dam. A cormorant popped up with a shiny flat fish in its beak. The bird had trouble getting the fish into a position to swallow, so all the other waterbirds rushed to "help." The cormorant dived with its prize. The last I saw, it still had not swallowed the fish.
