It's cloudless. The moon was just sinking into the pink-tinted West when I got up. Open water is flowing past skins of ice on the creek. A heron, an egret, and a pelican have flown downstream while a flock of ducks and a cormorant went the other way. But no one's actually in the water yet. The birdbath is frozen. Cardinals, chickadees, titmice and a wren have visited the feeder and a squirrel tried. I tossed out the sesame seeds that fell off my bagel. The wren seemed interested.
The white throats are up now. One was pushed off the feeder by the Carolina wren. The birdbath has melted. A male house finch showed up, the first in several days.
Twilight was a very intense blue. The day warmed so much that there's a moth on the window tonight.
