Warming up, clouding up

Typical. This time of year is either cold and bright or warm and wet. A lone squirrel moseyed by. I have refilled the feeder.

Bees are still feeding on the rosemary! Almost all tree leaves are shed, except where the wild cherry grew back after the May storm. The dawn redwood made cones this year, I think for the first time. A mockingbird perched on the beauty berry and feasted on the now dull berries. Seems like they need to age or something.

A male merganser went upstream in a series of dashes and dives. As you can see, the creek is beautifully reflective today. A heron waited at the dam outflow and a kingfisher flew downstream.
