The regular birds came to the feeders: chickadees and cardinals, myrtle and pine warblers, downy woodpeckers, titmice, and Carolina wrens. White throated sparrows stayed on the ground and one took a brief bath despite the chilly air. I saw a blue jay briefly in the trees.
A squirrel ate new leaves off the rosebush! A little rain fell a couple of times in the afternoon. The aggressive myrtle warbler was very put out with the downy woodpeckers that seemed to think they were entitled to eat suet. A bufflehead and some cormorants on the creek were all the waterfowl today. After dark, harder rain hammered on the windows and I heard a rumble of distant thunder.
