November rains in

A flock of about ten pelicans soared past us while we were having breakfast. It looks like the rain may be over now.

It has cleared nicely but there's a cold wind. The huge flock of Canada geese is still hanging out on the street. There are over forty. I saw the first junco of the season below the feeder. And a kingfisher flew downstream. Fluff continues to blow off the saltbush. Bees are still hungrily working on the rosemary.

It looks like there may be two varieties of stinkhorn coming up out of the mulch. The second is pinkish, rounder and looks like diseased guts. It makes the phallic stinkhorn almost attractive. I don't see any other mushrooms despite the rain.
