2 wet gray days

I saw nothing yesterday.  Today wind gusts roughened the gray creek.  A downy, a titmouse, a goldfinch, a cardinal, and the mockingbird came anyway.  Seeds and suet were all that was available which disappointed the mockingbird. 

During a brief clearing mid morning birds and a squirrel rushed to get food.  I uncovered the barkbutter balls for the blue jays.  White throats foraged in the wet.  The squirrel got a drink from the brimming ant moat, and spilled it.  A pine warbler considered seeds and a Carolina wren suet.  It was very warm.  Then the rain came back harder and kept up for the rest of the day and into the night.  The cumulative amount of rainfall was in the Thursday newspaper, 2.57 inches.
