The morning was full of dark clouds and light rain. During a lull, the pileateds visited. The seed feeder birds ignored the weather but not each other. The cardinal did not tolerate the house finches. After the pileateds left, the male red belly showed up - note the red belly. Carolina wrens took their barkbutter balls to the azalea to eat.
Finally after 1pm the clouds began to tear apart and the wind picked up. Meanwhile the temperature had slid from the 50s to the 40s. I saw bluebirds but didn't get a picture. The red belly returned. White throats foraged along the far edge of the pool. Squirrels foraged and flirted. Sunset lit up a ridge of clouds in the Northeast. The clouds expanded as the light dimmed, seeming to boil with red light. Egrets and cormorants, and maybe other birds flew home.
