Early shift at the feeder included chickadees and nuthatches with sparrows and juncos below. The creek is smooth but reflections tremble, especially after geese have passed. Small birds are flying upstream - buffleheads? Robins flocked around and watched from the trees. Pelicans keep cruising over the fishing grounds but the screen of brush makes it hard to catch a photo.
A big raptor swooped through. I think it was the juvenile eagle again. Something else is around because every so often the little birds go completely still and squirrels watchful. One Carolina wren worked the feeder while another foraged below. Meanwhile, a male towhee showed up despite the bright sun. It had competition from the sparrows and doves and juncos. The song sparrow is pretty aggressive toward the other species. Nuthatches and chickadees visited the feeder and cardinals hung around.
