Full to the Brim

We have been socked in with rain now (a tropical depression of sorts) for three or more days now. Meanwhile in the land along the Miss. neighborhoods and whole communities are under water (some by the intentional outletting of water to prevent levee breaks in more populated areas, which issmall comfort to those who live in the affected rural communities).
So that is to say, we can't complain too much about the flooding on our property and the driveway, so far, is holding.
Today and the other day, too, I saw a pileated woodpecker. They are such dazzling creatures.
I also saw what probably was a turkey vulture, but had the wingspan of an eagle soar overhead against the gloomy sky. There was quite a chatter amongst the birds as it flew by.
