Spring-like

Apparently there was rain overnight because the birdbath was brim full.  White throats kicked mulch around it.  Daffodils bloomed.  I missed getting pictures of the blue jays and red belly but two mockingbirds came back for multiple visits.  The bossy myrtle warbler hung around.  A female brown headed cowbird joined house finches on the seed feeder.  A Carolina wren sat in a dogwood to groom itself. I think it was molting.  A titmouse was well fed.  A bluebird popped in for a barkbutter ball.  A starling lost its balance on the barkbutter hanger.  Even a white throat sampled the barkbutter balls.  Tiny puffs of cottony cumulus floated on a bright blue sky.  

The total rainfall for February was 5.87" versus a "normal" of 2.9".  But when added to the dry January, it looked less impressive, 7.51" versus a "normal" of 6.31".
