Soggy Sparrows

It's raining here today, sometimes water, sometimes ice.  I went into the kitchen and saw, through the south window, about a dozen soggy little sparrows huddled on the porch.  They were all crowded onto an old tomato cage, preening desperately in an attempt to get dry.  Cute, in a pathetic sort of way.  I have a suet cage fastened to the support for the porch overhang there, which is very popular in bad weather.

Back in my office now, I have another flock of sparrows all over the suet cage attached to my north window.  There are about five of them clinging to the wire, fluttering madly.  Others are scattered across the nearby bushes.
