While suet and seeds were available, we never uncovered the dishes for mealworms or barkbutter balls. A very and frustrated male bluebird looked forlornly at the lidded dishes. An equally wet but more resourceful male cardinal foraged in the mulch. One turtle climbed out to enjoy the "liquid sunshine." Rain dripping off the pines across the creek made larger splashes and occasional bubbles.
The rain stopped around 3pm and flickers of sunlight penetrated the clouds, but everything stayed wet. A blue jay and a mockingbird came to see if I had relented on the food. The blue jay found something good in the mulch. A bluebird competed with a downy woodpecker for suet.
