Fair weather for voting

Clouds pass headed East and the sun comes and goes.  A flock of blue jays is foraging and annoying a mockingbird.  I glimpsed a brown thrasher, a flicker, and a Carolina wren.  Both sparrow species, titmice, and the usual three are busy around the feeder.

The saltbush is nearly bare but I see lots of birds hunting along the water's edge, including a woodpecker. The redwood needles are getting copper edges. The "chicken of the woods" mushroom under the oak is getting more golden and a clutch of small brown mushrooms with smoky gills (possibly Hypholoma) popped up in the grass.

Tonight, the moon was a bright arced line in the West.  It was warmer today.
