Sunny morning

Perky merganser pairs are out on the creek which is not at all smooth this morning. Juncos are hopping on the patio and finches on the feeder. The wind is cold but the sun has attracted four pelicans to the boathouse roof. The first osprey of the year circled and hovered.

I heard crows making a ruckus and sure enough they soon appeared chasing a hawk. I'm learning what various bird noises mean so I can be ready with the camera. The chickadees are now on the feeder.

Mid-afternoon, the robins are out. A wren was delighted with my burnt cookie crumbs and posed beautifully while I took about 40 pictures, NONE of which came out. !#$% camera.
