Sun is back


A small flock of hooded mergansers landed in the creek in the early light. Later a jay and robins visited the front yard. The jay was posing in the sweet gum, but I had an appointment.

Clouds moved in after noon and now it looks stormy. The pelicans are fishing and the crows are flying around. Something crow-size flew by making a sort of skee-skee sound. Maybe a hawk?

The trees are well and truly budded and the ornamentals are starting to bloom. Field pansies have joined the birdseye, henbit, dandelions, and field cress. Snow bells and the smallest daffodils have been joined by the dutch hyacinth. The forsythia along the fence are blooming.
