Warm

The sun is glowing on the pines and their reflection in the creek.  All the fishing birds - cormorants, egrets - took off downstream a few minutes ago.  The feeder is quiet.

Later the feeder got busy with cardinals, chickadees, sparrows and the wren.  A squirrel got all the peanut bits.  K refilled the feeder.  It's amazing how much longer the seeds last now that the raccoons can't raid the feeder.  A yellow rump paused in the dogwood. 

After dark, bugs collected on the window.  I suppose they're freshly hatched by the warmth and will die in the next yo-yo of temperatures.
