Overnight rain filled the birdbath but stopped before I got up. The creek was a mirror at breakfast. A Carolina wren got up early for seeds. White throats explored the wet weeds. Rose buds showed color. A mockingbird lamented the rain-filled dish with mealworms floating. The suet was gone too, leaving only seeds. Then the other mockingbird joined the first and I finally got photos of the two mockingbirds together. A bluebird arrived late. The male red bellied woodpecker had a difficult time with the seed feeder perch. I dumped the rain soup and refilled the dish with mealworms. The jelly was partly dissolved but I left what wasn't liquid. Ants must have thought it rained manna.
