The rain does seem to have caused the juncos to fall from the sky and swarm 
around my platform feeder.  I counted at least 15.  They were joined by one 
field sparrow picking off seeds from the grass under the feeder.  White 
throated sparrows are rummaging around the brush pile on the side of the 
house.  I went out and tossed some seed into the pile to give them something 
to find.

I had been leaving a jar of peanut butter outside by the hanging holey log 
that I would smear the peanut butter on for the woodpeckers and others. 
Yesterday morning, the lid was on the ground and the jar was missing.  I 
suspect a raccoon ... not sure that a squirrel could unscrew a lid.
Enjoy the wet ... whatever ...
