A rip in the overcast let early sunlight through, but now it has moved on East. Cardinals, a chickadee, and a squirrel are up and feeding. The female cardinal fed the male, or so it appeared. Several egrets gathered at the dam outflow. The mix of fresh and brackish water must make for good fishing. There is always one bird there, but this morning there were four.Another break in the clouds moved through around 9am. Finches took advantage, along with cardinals, chickadees, and squirrel. Dark clouds and blue sky continue to alternate. The cardinals and finches had a spat over the feeder with the finches winning. At one point they drove her off. Later the two birds sat on the perch and brandished their beaks at each other - it looked just like cursing. The chickadees slipped in when the others left, as did a titmouse.
Another male hummer visited. When the light doesn't catch their throat feathers, they look black. And a squirrel investigated the hummingbird feeder. It may have defeated him!
