It was sunny and quiet in the early morning, but no birds took advantage. The creek was glassy until disturbed by a passing goose. It clouded up while I was in meetings and by the time I got home the only blue sky lay on the North horizon. Gradually that blue widened Southward though the wind continues to come from the West.
And then suddenly, birds were all over. A yellow rumped warbler, maybe two, and a pair of goldfinches joined the regulars and sparrows. Then titmice and a white breasted nuthatch appeared.
Meanwhile the crows set up a clamor that flushed an eagle. Blue jays gathered and proclaimed their presence. Geese on the creek got amorous and a pelican cruised up and down the creek. It all made lunch quite exciting.
