There is a breeze and the sun is muted by a veil of stratus cloud haze but it is very mild. The bees are busy on the camellia. Chickadees have been to the feeder and I glimpsed a white throat and a wren. Cormorants, hooded mergansers, and a male bufflehead have passed by on the creek and a pelican and a heron flew past.
I put peanut bits out for the wren but the squirrel scarfed them up. Nothing touched the sesame seeds off yesterday's bagel. The haze must have been ice crystals because I saw several
sundogs.
When I returned in the late afternoon, pelicans and gulls were fishing, but every photo is out of focus.. I put out a few more peanuts and this time a white throat got them. At twilight, a male towhee came to kick mulch while cardinals got their evening meal and sparrows scurried. Multitudes of cormorants and quite a few egrets commuted home.
