At least there is sunshine to reward our rising earlier. Apparently the birds have been doing so all along. Up early were a wren, nuthatches, chickadees, cardinals, titmice, sparrows, and juncos. Pelicans and cormorants were fishing. There was frost last night and patches of icy skin are floating on the otherwise smooth creek. Some smudges of white are hardy visible against the blue sky.
It has gotten much warmer. An osprey passed by and three, maybe four, pelicans are still cruising. A great black back gull paddled upstream. Finches showed up at the feeder. Honeybees are working on the rosemary and a cabbage butterfly flitted through. A small fly of some sort landed on the window. One squirrel chased another up the feeder pole. They seem not to grasp that it's not a tree.
