All morning, the only bird around was a Carolina wren. It waited quietly on the grill hose for over an hour. Then it got excited and began bouncing and chirping and fanning its feathers. I have no idea what this was all about. It left and a squirrel crawled all around the grill, then mountaineered up the brick wall by the bedroom window. During all this time there were no other birds, not even gulls and crows. Thin cumulus clouds creep slowly East in a sunny sky but the wind in the trees is gusty.
The wren came back and stayed through lunch. Finally chickadees started visiting the feeder. A male hooded merganser paddled upstream and then the pelicans arrived. At least three swooped and plunged right in front of us.
The day has been warm and this evening a moth came to the window. And snow is predicted for this time tomorrow!
