Another overnight frost

The moon was huge last night and still up this morning.  Chickadees and finches were up too.  A squirrel got a drink - the frost did not freeze the birdbath. It's bright and sunny now.

Around lunch, sparrows showed up, along with a Carolina wren and a few juncos.  Crows chased a hawk across the sky.  

A flock of robins flew over going South.  Cormorants headed North.  A half dozen mallards paddled up to the bank.  A pair of buffleheads started their way when a boat came around the bend and scared them off.  The boat docked where a kingfisher had planned to land and it was quite agitated about finding another perch.   Great blue herons flew past and egrets fished.
