Rain at last

The male red bellied woodpecker showed up but, of course, there was no suet.  Eventually he settled for barkbutter.  Then a male pine warbler had some mealworms.  Titmice went for sunflower seeds.  

I saw several hummingbirds, at least one male and two females.  Ripe cherries dangled in long strings from the tree, attracting a mockingbird.  The osprey coasted into its favorite pine perch.  I glimpsed a wren scuttling under the mountain mint.  Then the rain began.  

Later when the rain grew more gentle, a yellow crowned night heron hunted along the shoreline.  The pine warbler eyed the soggy soup of mealworms and barkbutter.
