Clear sky at sunise

A raccoon-size bushy black cat ran through the back yard and hid under the bench till I went outside.  I heard a squirrel curse at it as it disappeared.  About five minutes later the birds came out.  A blue jay and a mockingbird paid a visit along with sparrows and juncos on the ground.  Nuthatches, titmice, chickadees, finches, cardinals and a wren ate on the feeder.  They all left when I finished breakfast and got the camera.

Crows and gulls played on the wind.  A cardinal at lunch acted like it might have a damaged foot.  Not the one in the photo.  Not much activity after that.  A sparrow hopped around at dusk.  After dark, the first quarter moon was hazy, but stars were bright.
