Overnight rain

And today the temperature is supposed to drop back into the winter range. A damp wind is pushing the clouds but it is not as strong as yesterday. Juncos were out at dawn feeding and geese were honking. A few pelicans checked out the creek along with gulls and crows.

By noon, the sky has gone blue. A pair of cardinals keep chasing the juncos off the feeder. A pair of finches squabbled between themselves instead. A buzzard swooped very low over the house - since I'm facing North toward the creek, birds I cannot see cast ominous shadows that I can see. Last year it was misty on this date. I'll be back next week.
