A Carolina wren was put out that the dish feeders were covered to keep out the rain. The wren settled for suet. Then a mockingbird had to make sure the barkbutter balls really weren't reachable. The bird glared at me before moving on to the suet. A white throat found other options. An orange crowned warbler also substituted suet for barkbutter. A bluebird landed on the post to watch.
Up in the wild cherry, a goldfinch showed off his summer outfit. A brown headed nuthatch made repeated forays to the seeds, no matter who else was there. A female bluebird was displaced by the mockingbird who was still hungry. The cardinals were making kissy-beak. House finches and chickadees hung out at the seed feeder too.
The rain was mostly gentle but there was a frog-strangler around 4pm. It knocked petals off the dogwood. The gentler showers made bubbles in the birdbath. By evening it appeared that the rain was diminishing.
