More of the same

Again, the evening clouds were gone in the morning. It is sunny and windy. A squirrel came for a looooong drink at the birdbath.

Cardinals, finches and a titmouse came to lunch. So did the wretched husky that gets loose every so often. The choke cherries are blooming and a small brown butterfly was visiting. The ferns are opening their fiddleheads.

Down on the dock, a cold wind came out of the NE, but the clouds were coming from the NW. An osprey, cormorants, egrets and herons, and of course geese passed by. Fish keep jumping and I keep missing. A crab was working on a piling and, I swear, something's nose stuck out of the water until I moved. I suspect a muskrat. See the spot in the middle?
