More warmth

A katydid nymph has been on the glass door since yesterday.  It has moved a couple of feet so it is alive.  Buffleheads again paddle and dive on a glassy creek.  Seven doves wandered around the patio along with a sparrow.  Cardinals, chickadees, titmice, and nuthatches visited the feeder.  An oak across the creek is shedding leaves which fall like glitter because the sun catches them but has not yet reached the lake behind. And, finally a finch arrives.

Later, juncos show up.  And the Carolina wren comes for lunch.
