March wind and sun

It is very warm. The wind is banging the just-hung birdhouse against the tree trunk. A squirrel is picking up fallen seeds but no birds are attempting the feeder. The song sparrow was out on the patio for a while, followed by a junco. Blue jays were up in the redwood.

On the creek a lone goose and a male merganser were displaying the same colors in large and small. A mallard pair walked up into the neighbor's yard, perhaps looking for a nesting spot? But every photo I took was overexposed or out of focus. I guess I'll have to read the manual. And the blog must be content with this daffodil.

The day got amazingly warm and the wind finally calmed somewhat, after it blew the birdhouse down. The first quarter moon was quite bright overhead in late afternoon. Carpenter and bumblebees joined honeybees on the rosemary.
