The rains in California have been in the news for a good reason. Flooding in large areas, and mudslides in the burn areas make for hazardous conditions. Fortunately, we are lucky to escape the worst of it all. Yes, rain barrels are overflowing, but so what? The house is still standing and we don't feel the need to go anywhere where cars are being swept off the streets. The big downside is my Critter Café cannot be replenished in pouring rain and it grieves me to not provide the food my patrons have come to expect. I also worry how they are coping with the deluge. We're seeing 50 year record rainfall and all of us are used to a more moderate climate. Well, we had two visitors who figured out a good place to dodge the downpour and we were delighted to see them. They camped out on the iron hangers on the porch post that normally hold decorative items (removed because of impending big wind gusts). Frankly, if they had thought about it a bit more, they could've gone under the eaves of the porch roof, but whatever.
First came the sparrow on the left side hanger (and you should click to get the big pictures and zoom in because they are hard to see):
Then came the finch after the sparrow departed:
Way to go buds.
