Rainy

The creek was high in the morning. A downy woodpecker worked on the nubbin of suet that will need to be replaced soon.  Some light rain fell and then the clouds broke apart.  It was warm enough to encourage the tree buds.  Turtles crawled out to enjoy the warm air.  Dark rain clouds chased me home around 5pm.   White throats scavenged seeds anyway.  I saw mallards on the creek but nothing else.
