Gray

Appropriate for Ash Wednesday.  A crow was declaiming in the pine tree.  I haven't seen much else though I can hear bird calls.

Pelicans and herons are flying through the gray mist.  Ripples on the creek surface don't seem to have a source.   I think a V-shaped wake might be trailing a female bufflehead.   A few doves, sparrows, and juncos are out on the ground.  Cardinals, finches, chickadees, nuthatches, and Carolina wrens are coming to the feeder, but not in great numbers.
