Showers & sun

Yesterday was really busy.  I glimpsed a white  breasted nuthatch on the seed feeder but I've nothing to show for it.  We had a rain shower at breakfast today and visits from a blue jay and a crow.  A mockingbird showed up at lunch.  The temperature warmed up and the wind wasn't so fierce.  

I have been persuaded that the bush I've been calling sakaki, Cleyera japonica, is actually a cheap substitute, False Japanese Cleyera, Ternstroemia gymnanthera .  They are related and look very similar.  But I am not absolutely convinced.
