Overnight rain dumped a couple of inches of water, dropped the temperature, and left very humid air behind. Overcast persisted all day. Moisture clung to the spiderwebs. The female pileated joined us for breakfast. A bluebird was hungry too. Of course, the rain had covered the barkbutter balls which disappointed some birds. Several titmice came for seeds throughout the day. And, after a long absence, a male red bellied woodpecker appeared. A Carolina wren returned to the suet. I dumped the rain and barkbutter mess when I went for a swim in the afternoon. A blue jay and bluebirds investigated the crumbs. There was plenty of tree trash in the water but nothing alive. The breeze was a bit chilly and dank so I didn't linger.
