I heard a "rain band" come through around 3am and several since. It is gray and wet and gusty. It is nearly high tide which is a good thing as the winds aren't all that strong yet. The evening high tide should come after the center passes and the wind starts coming from the West so that shouldn't be exceptionally high either. The lower end of the dock is just barely awash.
The finches were protesting all over the feeder hanger in between wind gusts. "Where's breakfast?" So we put some seeds down on the steps. I saw another bird try to take shelter behind a drainpipe where the robins build a nest some years ago. I just saw a dragonfly blow past.
We lost power around 11am. The cardinals and finches continued to come for seeds throughout the storm. The cardinals are still feeding fledglings - the second crop, I think. Here's dad stuffing his teenager in the middle of the hurricane.
