Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Light rain
The rain fell all morning and off-and-on through the afternoon. I hope it soaked in, even though it was light, because the year has been very dry so far. At breakfast, the catbird returned with another. I think this is the second bird. They didn't seem very fond of each other, at least, I couldn't get them both in one photo. A mockingbird was next. It checked out the fresh suet. I saw a Carolina wren but it was faster than my fingers. Mallard drakes paddled on the creek, leaving all the incubation to the females. Bluebirds visited the seed feeder in the rain. (K had covered the dishes.) They hurried to grab a seed and go back to whatever they were doing. Cardinals continued their courtship.
