Getting warmer

Well, yesterday did not cloud over after all, and today continues bright despite the higher temperature. Dawn came with a crow calling and crows were quite active this morning.

The feeder crew waited for the day to warm up. One chickadee had an interesting technique: on being intimidated by a larger titmouse, the chickadee simply swung backward and hung under the perch till the titmouse left.

Two eagles were cruising by today but they seemed more interested in the lake above the dam than in the salt water creek. On the other hand, several herons and gulls seemed to think the action was upstream.
