At dawn the cormorants flew out. Then mergansers flew upstream. Their white markings and wing beats interact and make them appear to vibrate.The sky has clouded over. Chickadees and finches are visiting the feeder again after disappearing yesterday. Gulls, egrets, and pelicans are watching the water. And there is a big hawk hanging around. It looks osprey-size so I'm guessing red-tail, but there is not enough light to be sure.
A flock of ab
out five male and three female mallards is circling off the end of the dock. We used to have a lot more mallards. I think a neighbor was feeding them. Now we are down to a reasonable number and it has been some years since I found a nest in the yard. Anyway, there are enough mallards around to name this blog.
