Rain

The blue sky we awoke to was erased by clouds from the West.  It was overcast by 9am and rain began around noon.  The female red bellied woodpecker breakfasted on suet.  Gulls lined the dock, staring at the iced over creek. I was rushing and took no photos. 

In the afternoon, I saw a few hoodies and a whole lot of gulls on the creek which was free of ice.  The light was bad and the camera kept focusing on foreground twigs.  White throats and a Carolina wren poked through the mulch.  The wren also visited every feeder.  K saw a bluebird but I missed it.  I did see pine and yellow rumped warblers.
