Rain

It was a bit warmer so naturally it was wet.  When I first got up, there was sunshine on the treetops but clouds covered the sky very quickly.  A male bufflehead dived in the creek while a heron perched on a lake snag.  The tide was up in the grass.

The rain began in the late morning.  Songbirds were busy when we got home.  A white throat took a bath.  A Carolina wren got away without a photo.  Chickadees and cardinals  dashed for seeds when the rain slackened.  A dove poked around underneath.

On the creek, buffleheads and hoodies fished in the rain.  I took the long way back from the library and saw a heron and mallards at the head end of the lake.  Across the road, in the upper lake, an egret waited and a couple of small ducks floated.
