Wind and rain

A friend said she was tired of March weather in April and that certainly fit the last day the month.  Morning was so windy there were waves on the creek.  Occasional blue patches of sky let in a little sunlight. 

Rain began around noon and was mostly gentle with a couple of downpours. According to the newspaper, that was a whole lot of rain.  And the winds approached hurricane force on the Outer Banks. 

Despite all that, a female goldfinch visited the seed feeder after lunch.  Then, just to confuse me, its place was taken by a pine warbler.
