As I began the count this morning 15 minutes before sunrise, I pointed out the pretty rainbow hanging in the dark gray sky over the dunes at Higbee. Before I even turned around it began to rain, and it didn't stop for the next two hours. Interestingly, some birds still flew out in the rain, and I counted some hardy Northern Waterthrushes and a very close Prothonotary Warbler among the only morning flight birds. There must be a joke about rain and waterthrushes in there somewhere, but it just isn't falling for me right now.
