No snow

It is not cold enough for frost either.  So much for all the excitement.  It is, however, a beautiful morning with a cloudless sky and little wind.  The creek is shimmering - just enough movement to sparkle.  It has attracted geese, a male bufflehead, a pair of pelicans, and a black bird with a white head I hope was an eagle. 

The squirrel with the white spot was out early, along with a Carolina wren, white throated sparrows, juncos, and doves.  Cardinals, both kinds of finch, titmice, chickadees and nuthatches came to the feeder.
