Back to the back yard

Back here, the usual suspects were busy at lunch time: finches, cardinals, chickadees and titmice. I glimpsed what was most likely a wren but might have been a nuthatch. It was cold and bright but the creek thawed mid-day.

The pelican cruising the creek today reminded me that on the whale watching trip we also saw lots of brown pelicans, cormorants, gulls* of course, and one unflappable great blue heron on the platform with the sea lions.

*I finally identified the rather sooty gulls with red bills as Heerman's Gulls.
