Wind!

Gusts are thrashing the trees and rocking the feeders.  In between, there have been visits by a house finch pair, a male cardinal, a female nuthatch, and a tiny wren.  It didn't look like a Carolina and I wonder if it was a marsh wren.  Geese, crows and gulls are on or over the creek. The overcast has pleated into bars of cloud with sky between, so there is some sunshine. 

By mid afternoon the sky cleared and the wind calmed somewhat.  Crows chased an eagle.  A chickadee fussed at me.  A great blue heron stalked along the bulkhead.  The sun set without a cloud in sight.
