Clearing


Morning looked fairly dismal but I don't think we got any more rain.  Starlings were back but the red bellied woodpecker shooed them away.  Bluebirds and brown thrashers wanted breakfast too.  Unusually, a blue jay tackled the suet because I was being stingy with the barkbutter balls. 

A slightly bedraggled male downy showed up late in the morning.  The suet was fast disappearing so I relented and put out a helping of barkbutter balls.  A crow took the challenge and got the reward.     

Patches of blue sky preceded sunshine.  The wild cherry bloomed.  I finally got a pose from the Carolina wren that was hanging around all day.  There were still clouds at sunset.
