Wind and sun

The wind roared all night and pushed the last clouds east in the early morning.  A pelican came past, low to the creek.  Other birds were blown all over the sky.

The patio was very busy.  First the white spot squirrel dropped in.  Then a blue jay wanted a drink.  A robin perched on a chair arm, then the rest of the flock flew past.  A flock of goldfinches investigated the gumballs that had blown down.  As always, white throat sparrows and juncos kicked the mulch.  Carolina wrens joined them.  chickadees and house finches came to the feeder and I glimpsed a titmouse.   I am so glad to be home!

A flock of robins blew through at lunch.  A bufflehead and some geese paddled on the wind-blown creek.  Crows are up to something.
