We had a more substantial rain overnight. A titmouse was unhappy that the barkbutter balls were still covered, but it kept them from going mushy. A murder of crows gathered in the trees, I don't know why. Toward lunch time the cloud cover thinned. The temperature rose into the 70s and it was sunny but there was nowhere dry to sit.
The first juncos of Autumn appeared. I also saw a butterbutt. Two bluebirds occupied the post. There were other birds flocking with these, but they moved so much and then all departed so I don't know what I missed. Two downy woodpeckers, a pair I think, walked up a dogwood trunk. A Carolina wren dropped in after the others flew off.
An egret prowled under the bulkhead. Again a mockingbird came for a drink from the ant moat. A white breasted nuthatch got seeds. Leaves kept drifting down as fast as they turned. A blue jay found the barkbutter balls.
