Getting warmer

Cirrus wisps and sunshine, breezy with a ruffled surface on the creek. The clouds dissipated and it warmed up enough for honeybees. And a three hour power outage! Since I could do nothing electrical, I sat with the camera, which was uncooperative again.

Nevertheless, I caught the wren demanding room on the feeder and the yellow rumped warbler hanging about. Also on the feeder were a male cardinal, house finches, chickadees and titmice. Down below were squirrels, doves and white throated sparrows. A blue jay paused for a moment then left.

Crows hassled a hawk, a buzzard circled, and gulls took a great interest in the creek, first two black backs, then a flotilla of medium size gulls. An egret fished along the bulkhead.
