The inch-and-a-half of rain Sunday washed my post away, so this will cover two days. Sunday was very gray. The rain obscured distances. A mockingbird blended in. The starling's iridescence nearly disappeared. A white breasted nuthatch was lucky that the feeder provided a bit of shelter. The warblers on the suet had none. An oriole was disappointed but I wasn't going to put out food that would turn to soup. The first daffodil but appeared.
On Monday the rain was much lighter. A red bellied woodpecker showed up briefly. Then the pileated woodpeckers arrived. The female waited impatiently till the male was full of suet. We'll need to put out a fresh block of suet soon.
