Yesterday afternoon we had a real thunder shower here in Elk Plain. It stuck in place and poured like I have never seen in western Washington. Afterwards the birds were quite active but very bedraggled. One fledgling Black-capped Chickadee especially caught my eye as he sat waiting for mom to bring him suet. I put a couple of pictures here: http://www.pbase.com/jvhigbee/current
