There are at least two red-breasted nuthatches around, though I had only seen one at a time until this morning. A male cardinal defended his feeder perch against all comers, especially a persistent female finch. Female cardinals joined white-throated sparrows in the mulch. Chickadees and titmice were out in force. A squirrel slipped on the gutter making a noise that scared all the birds.
The nuthatch was back for lunch. Three doves pecked along the pool edge. Then suddenly a huge number of cormorants were flying, running on water, and diving upstream, accompanied by egrets and gulls. They went by too fast for me to locate the camera. After a bit, I saw some cormorants flying back downstream.
