They finally gave up. The birds have spent their days this spring and early summer darting in to snatch a mouthful of seed, angrily scolding the squirrels who hang from their feeder, and dodging my every attempt to capture them with my camera.
They mocked my efforts for a while, darting in and out through the rain, landing briefly, then flitting off when I slowly lifted my camera.

At last,
They tired of the game,
or maybe the rain,
And decided I was best ignored.
