I had to get up earlier than usual and was rewarded with many of the birds that stayed away during the count. Titmice, juncos, a song sparrow, and a woodpecker were out in the yard. A grackle tripped the feeder counterweight. Two male cardinals played dominance games in the cherry. The regulars and the white throats were around too.
Mid-morning the yellow rumped warbler joined the feeder crowd. A pelican cruised over the creek and a cormorant dived under it.
I was busy all afternoon. The temperature had people out in only shirtsleeves. Sunset was colorful thanks to altostratus streaks. The waning moon was overhead mid-day.
