Titmice, chickadees, nuthatches, finches on the feeder and both kinds of sparrow, a female towhee, and doves on the ground below. The towhee did not like sharing with the song sparrow. Two nuthatches were on the feeder together, then one got thirsty and visited the birdbath. It is cold and the creek is glassy.
At noon, the cardinals and juncos finally showed up. The wind picked up a bit. A "murder" of crows settled on the neighbors' fish-cleaning sink as though they knew something was coming. After a while they gave up waiting and went on a raptor chase. A flock of diving ducks went upstream, mostly under water - not buffleheads. Something with white patches perched in the redwood, then flew off , probably a mockingbird. A little later, a bald eagle circled over the creek, but my hands were full making lunch. Later a pelican passed through.
