Spring passions

Squirrels chased each other madly.  One bumped the rosemary and knocked a bird out.  Another rode the feeder through wind gusts.

The male house finch sat on the feeder and poked bits into the female's beak.  The Carolina wrens, however,  drive each other away.  They take on larger birds too.  Juncos, nuthatches, song sparrows and white throats are still here.  And chickadees, cardinals, and titmice never migrate. 

The sky was clear blue early but slowly became white from a thin cloud layer.  The moon is quite blurry tonight.  The wind was gusty all day.
