Quiet start


The moon is sliding down the West in a blue sky.  The creek is glassy and the trees are still.  Where are the birds?

The wind picked up but it is warm in the sun.  Chickadees and a female finch came to feed.  I saw yet another battered squirrel - what is going on?  A great blue heron cruised downstream.  Honey bees are working on rosemary and camellia.  A cloudless sulphur butterfly checked out the beauty berries.  A crow and another bird had an aerial fight - I think it was a sharp shinned hawk. 


Egrets and cormorants flew in the late afternoon.  A white throat and a female cardinal disputed possession of the feeder.  A glaze of stratus clouds muted the afternoon sunlight but made a lovely pink sunset.
