Happy New Year

Mist hung over the creek as the sun came up. Herons, a bufflehead, gulls and cormorants were fishing. Juncos scouted the patio while chickadees and titmice visited the feeder.

Last year was somewhat colder with the melting remains of snow. Virginia Beach Naturally (which I've now finished) has a monthly calender which recommends watching & listening for foxes and owls in January. We saw an animal across the creek that might have been a red fox but was probably a dog with a brushy tail.

Around lunch, I saw a pelican. Squirrels were getting their exercise. Also, there were contrails, and more interesting, one contrail cast a shadow across another. It was quite windy.
