Junco!

The first junco of the season appeared this morning and was run off by a dove.  The feeder attracted chickadees and titmice.  A hawk was chased by smaller birds, too far away to be sure of what kinds.  It is sunny and breezy, unlike yesterday which was pretty still under the overcast.

Two male kingfishers are competing for territory on our dock.  One pursues, forcing the other off its perch.  But the other just moves to another piling, and since there are a dozen to choose from, I think the aggressor will lose.When I opened the door they squawked and flew off.  But I was able to get some pictures through the window screen and tree branches. 

When I got home at noon, they were still at it!  Meanwhile blue jays were squabbling over acorns.  Finches are on the feeder now. It has clouded up, and with the wind, it is really chilly.   But then the clouds disappeared before a golden sunset.
