Breezy

No mirror-like reflections this morning, but an egret fishing along the bulkhead all morning. Chickadees on the feeder emptied it. I refilled but the birds stayed away this morning. Geese patrolled the creek and I saw a duck flying that might have been a wood duck. Robins were everywhere along with jays and grackles. I think the jays were harassing something across the creek. The male cardinal was collecting nesting material.

We went to Church Point to see the site of the sunken Thoroughgood graveyard and spent a pleasant time on a bench near a couple of geese. An osprey circled and there were small ducks on the water.

Later back home, a kingfisher perched on the dock. I saw a dragonfly hunting overhead. A large flock of small birds also went by overhead, making a high-pitched ts-se cry.
