The birdbath and the ant moat were brim full with rain. Off-and-on rain kept everything wet all morning. Despite the rain, white throated sparrows kicked the wet mulch looking for fallen seeds. The creek was quiet and gray. Daffodils bowed to keep water off their stamens. The bossy butterbutt worked to get at the remnant of suet which was so small it was escaping from the cage. The downy woodpecker took over. The half-a-tail squirrel came to look for seeds in the mulch. It couldn't shelter under its tail like other squirrels. A pine warbler went to the seed feeder since nothing else was available.
Eventually the rain ended and the clouds broke up. A female bufflehead floated on the creek. A white breasted nuthatch helped itself to seeds.
