Rain

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.
