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.
Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.
