The wind took care of that broken limb. Something opened the feeder lid. Other than that the storm passed without effect. Pelicans and an osprey are watching the creek. Crows are still gathering nesting. The feeder is hosting cardinals, finches, chickadees, nuthatches, and titmice. A Carolina wren sang for us. Sparrows and juncos joined a dove on the ground. The sky is blue and the wind is still strong.
Cornell has an interesting
article on how sexual selection keeps cardinal males red year around.
Ducks with rusty-red heads were out fishing. The crows' nest is near the juvenile eagle's favorite perch. There was much cawing and screaming and circling, but of course the crows won. A pelican sunned on a piling across the creek.
