Apparently this week's pattern is clear mornings and afternoon clouds. A nuthatch, a female towhee, juncos, and sparrows greeted us this morning. Later a male finch showed up.
When we got home from lunch, two Canada geese were standing in the middle of the pool cover, drinking the water that their weight was forcing up. I gave them the bums rush. But in so doing, I frightened off the feeder birds. They did not come back for a long while. Finally sparrows, chickadees, Carolina wrens, and cardinals returned.
Meanwhile, out on the creek gulls and a pelican flew low and an osprey higher. Crows attacked the osprey when it got too close to their nesting pine. The clouds again took over the sky with occasional moments of sun.
