Rain

The geese with six goslings came for an early swim.  The goslings still weren't big enough to get out without the help of the brick.  A titmouse, a downy woodpecker, and a male house finch competed for sunflower seeds.  The woodpecker won.  There was activity at the wren house. A female towhee foraged beneath.  It was hard to get enough light for a photo. 

I was gone all day in a room without windows.  I heard rain on the roof.  When I got home, the usual egret was fishing.  The female towhee came back.  A pair of cardinals and a male house finch completed the inventory.  But at least the rain had stopped.
