Frosty again

And there is a hint of mist.  Finches are up.  Crows are calling.

9am and still no sun.  On the mulch, juncos, song sparrows and white-throats.  Chickadees and nuthatches are competing for a place at the feeder.  Two nuthatches got into an aerial fight.  In flight, the stripes on the nuthatch make it hard to tell head from tail.  On the ground, a song sparrow pursued a junco. Buffleheads are fishing.

The predicted sun has not materialized. Pelicans are cruising around the bend of the creek and crows are taking an interest.  Juncos and sparrows, chickadees and nuthatches are still hungry.  A Carolina wren appeared for lunch.

The sky has cleared to the North, but still the predicted sun fails to shine.
