Overcast

A couple of gulls swooped in the air over the creek.  The feeder was busy.  First, chickadees and a Carolina wren appeared, then sparrows and finches.  Finally a male and female towhee showed up to scratch in the mulch.  I don't know what the male has on its face. 

Later a cardinal and a couple of doves arrived.  A pelican cruised the creek, without luck as far as I could see.  There is a definite breeze and it is not warm.

I happened to be passing the 264-Newtown exit at twilight today and there was the great swirling cloud of crows.
