There was a little rain before I got up, but it dried and sunshine mixed with clouds. A white breasted nuthatch, a mockingbird, and a red bellied woodpecker all escaped the camera. A brown thrasher took its time and I took its picture. A female bluebird made frequent visits. (I still haven't seen any activity at the bluebird house.) The squirrel was eating peppered suet again. A titmouse got some seeds.
One of the brown thrashers noticed the barkbutter balls that K put on the patio for the crow. A blue jay found the dish feeder empty. A crow swooped down on the barkbutter balls, scattering the other birds. It wasn't greedy and a cardinal noticed there were some left.
The surprise shower came after lunch. The wind gusted and the sky darkened. Rain streaked the North windows for about ten minutes. Then the sun returned, accompanied by a bluebird. A blue jay was close behind. The red belly returned and this time I was lucky.
