They're back

It is still overcast though there was a pink tinge when I got up.  Sunshine is predicted.  Hmmm.  Anyway, the small birds came first: nuthatch, chickadee, and Carolina wren.  Then a flock of juncos and sparrows landed and cardinals appeared.  This cardinal is trying to guard the food.  Squirrels joined in and the birds left.  Finally a finch visited and some of the other birds returned.  Meanwhile in the background, a flock of geese passed in formation headed South.  A pelican and several herons patrolled the creek.

OK, late morning it started to clear from the West.  The wind is cold. By lunch, the sky was blue.  I believe I saw a bufflehead dive on the creek! 

A crisp,clear night with a nearly full moon and a star very close to it.
