Mockingbird love

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.
