Clearing

The creek was rough and gray.  Yesterday's rain had nearly filled the ant moat so I think we got about an inch.  There were some dark clouds in the morning but they blew away.  Before that, a parade of squirrels took the great leap to the redwood in pursuit of true love, I presume.  I counted seven but the last two gave up.  

Sunshine and fresh food brought out the songbirds.  Bluebirds and warblers ate barkbutter balls.  A song sparrow and, later, a white throated sparrow found seeds under the feeder.  Orioles had their jelly.  Two starlings visited briefly.  Then a blue jay dropped by.  

After dark, a moth alighted on the window.
