Frost is outlining shapes on the ground and ice is floating in skins on the creek. The sun is making bright reflections on the still water. K refilled the bird feeder but no one is up yet. A couple of squirrels circled the patio, one following the other close, in hope of mating I presume. yesterday's raindrops on the nandina leaves have turned to ice, as has the birdbath.
A heron flew over the dam and a small flock of birds went past without pausing. The frost is disappearing wherever the sun can reach. Chickadees, titmice, and white throats are busy on the feeder with squirrels underneath.
At lunch a kingfisher hung out on pilings. Two buzzards circled overhead. A lone male hooded merganser paddled around. A great blue heron passed by.
House finches and chickadees occupied the feeder. The squirrel with the
raw side and elbow is healing. I wonder if it was mange or an insect
bite?
Venus looked big in the West and little clouds descended in steps above the twilight glow. The first quarter moon was bright overhead. Then after several hours, broken clouds covered the night sky, but a couple hours later the moon was back.
