Bright and warm - big and small

The early morning creek was a perfect mirror when the geese cruised by. Now it is wavy but still glassy. One of the eagles circled over it at noon.

Meanwhile the feeder was visited by titmice, chickadees, finches and juncos. And honeybees are still coming to the rosemary on every warm day. More bulbs are up, not just the snowbells which started growing a month ago.

Later a pelican passed through. In the late afternoon, a flock of gulls feasted on something in the water under a dock across the creek. I couldn't see what they were darting their heads under to catch. A great blackback sat on the roof of the boathouse and harangued them. Most of the gulls were small with a few ring-bills. The warmth didn't last though the blue sky did.
