Like yesterday

House finch and cardinal males made contrasting reds on the feeder.  Then a nuthatch visited.  The creek is glassy with low angle reflections.  A heron stalked the bulkhead.  One squirrel followed another around like a dog in heat.

Nuthatches and chickadees came for lunch.  One squirrel seems unduly interested in us, as though it's figured out the source of food.  A yellow tow boat pulled a speedboat downstream, looking for all the world like the tug boats in old picture book illustrations.  A blue jay hung around the edge of the yard.  Another squirrel had a dispute with a crow up in a pine tree.  Doves are also hanging about.
