Passing clouds

Blue jays grabbed beak-fulls of mealworms. Titmice, warblers, white throats, downy woodpeckers, and the regulars found reasons to visit. 

After lunch, an osprey landed in the pine between the creek and the lake, but pretty soon a crow noticed and the osprey didn't wait to be harassed. A heron waited by the dam outfall. 

In the afternoon the clouds thickened and looked about to burst.  But they cleared without shedding a drop of water.  A flock of crows descended on the pines across the creek.  An egret flew over to our side of the creek.
