Perfect bird count morning

Blue sky, 50 degrees, light breeze.  Not much creek activity: 3 hooded mergansers, 1 great blue heron, 1 double crested cormorant, 1 ring-bill gull, 4 fish crows.

9-10am around the feeder: 1 female cardinal, 1 female Eastern towhee, a pair of dark eyed juncos, a couple chickadees, 4 red breasted nuthatches - one female, a couple tufted titmice, 4 white-throated sparrows, 2 pairs of house finches, 1 Carolina wren, 1 song sparrow.  All reported to the Great Backyard Bird Count. 

The temperature climbed all the way to 60 but the breeze picked up a bit.  I counted again from 4-5pm and added 2 male mallards, a turkey vulture, a dozen gulls circling to high to identify, a female bufflehead, and a male kingfisher. 

A very bright crescent moon is near setting at 10:30pm and a bright planet is high in the West.
