First day of spring, and it's sodden

A lot of rain overnight, and the marshes are full. The weatherman warned of being woken between 2 and 4am when a warm front passed over Long Island, and sure enough, at ten to four, the rain and wind hit hard. Only lasted a few minutes, but left a lot of water.

Doesn't stop the red-winged blackbird from singing, though. He is the Rod Stewart of birds, slightly croaky but still tuneful.
