Today had the first measurable rain this year. It wasn't heavy but it was continuous. Intrepid Carolina wrens decided to eat anyway, but were frustrated by the cover keeping the rain out of the barkbutter balls. Fortunately the suet was insoluble. The other one ate at the seed feeder. Eventually white throats and a squirrel foraged while a brown headed nuthatch ate seeds and the red bellied woodpecker visited the suet. Cardinals and chickadees also ate seeds. A squirrel chased another across the wet and sagging pool cover which responded like a trampoline. I saw pelicans flying over the creek even though there were workers moving the spoils barge. The actual dredging has moved upstream of us now.
