Morning rain

The rain quit before noon and there were glimmers of sunlight that did not last.  The red bellied woodpecker pair took turns on the suet.  The dogwood buds burst open.  A junco poked around.  A Carolina wren sang its territory claims.  There was a bufflehead on the creek. 

A squirrel excavated quite a hole beside the birdbath.  It did not appear to find anything.  The blue jay was playing hide-and-seek again.  Cardinals began courting.  I saw a pelican make a round trip up the creek and back in the late afternoon.


I missed another day.  A  blue jay and a red bellied woodpecker hid in the undergrowth.  A Carolina wren came boldly to the birdbath for a drink.  So did a white throated sparrow.   The mockingbird was back wanting a red berry.  A bird I couldn't quite make out turned out to be a goldfinch.  A squirrel was chowing down on the oak tassels.
