Warm with clouds

Dawn was pretty but now it's gray. The sun tries to burn through, but this is as bright as it gets. Wind out of the Northwest keeps pulling in more clouds and the temperature is supposed to drop throughout the day. But despite the wind, the creek is only a little ruffled.

A boater flushed a pelican on the way out and a kingfisher coming back. I believe I saw an osprey though it is very late in the year. Crows and gulls were plentiful of course. The crows appear to have colonized the top of the water tower. Chickadees were busy on the feeder and doves underneath. Curiously, given yesterday's photo of the crow and the shell heap, today a single oyster shell appeared on our dock. I assume something carried it over to feast on in private.
