Freeze again

It's just like yesterday morning with frost and ice and sun.  Herons and egrets are scouting for fish.  But this morning some feeder birds are awake.  Sparrows were squabbling before sunrise.  Chickadees and a wren have been to the feeder.

The creek is in sunlight now and a flock of hooded mergansers have joined the egrets and heron. A pelican just soared upstream. Cardinals and finches have arrived. The mystery birds appeared in the afternoon.  Best guess so far is yellow rumped warblers. 

Both the feeder and the creek stayed busy all day.  The temperature climbed up, so rain is predicted though there was no sign of it at sunset.
