Sun and wind

A fleet of geese passed upstream. Pelicans, egrets, and herons have been fishing. Doves and squirrels investigate the patio.

A junco alerted me that the water in the birdbath was frozen even though it's not down to freezing on the thermometer. So I added warm water which pleased a female cardinal and a chickadee. Blue jays and a brown thrasher scouted around on the steps. The feeder needs refilling.

Out on the creek several hooded merganser pairs have passed by along with cormorants and possibly a red-breasted merganser.
