Thick fog

Geese and crows can be heard and squirrels, juncos and finches are finding breakfast. A pelican patrolled the creek.

The fog is slowly lifting but still very gray and drippy. Not an auspicious start for the backyard bird count. But last year there were high winds and that was worse.

Finally, around 11am the cloud cover began to break up with gray fuzz streaming South and higher clouds moving slowly East. Then everyone came out to feed! My one hour count:
Brown Pelican1
Great Egret1
Ring-billed Gull5
Great Black-backed Gull1
Blue Jay1
American Crow4
Carolina Chickadee3
Tufted Titmouse2
American Robin5
White-throated Sparrow1
Dark-eyed Junco5
Northern Cardinal
