It began to rain about 8 and rained more less continuously all night. It wasn't bad in the tent; able to drain the roof but the water came in through the screen window and I had a 1 foot diameter puddle on the floor (under my foot) when I woke up.

Saw a dove fly in, but it didn't come close enough to
