Dismal day

Elsewhere there were exciting snow storms but we got cold rain.  K pointed out a trace of overnight white stuff, maybe snow, maybe ice pellets.  It looked like less than a tablespoon and rain soon erased it.  The birdbath was ice-free but rippled by rain.  Suet and seeds were the birds' only choices.  

Pine warblers and a downy went to work on the suet.  Cardinals and chickadees ate seeds.  A mockingbird didn't like the choices.  White throats were untroubled by the short menu but didn't like the wet.  A few egrets gathered around the lake.
