But apparently the fishing is good. Gulls and pelicans are patrolling the creek while cormorants are in it. The feeder regulars and the sparrows are also hungry. Light rain began in the middle of the morning and turned to ice pellets around noon. It's more like hail than sleet. The pellets are piling up on insulated surfaces.
The towhee pair has been around hunting seeds. Both male cardinals have been jockeying for position while the sparrows struggle in the wind. A blue jay passed through quickly. The creek is mostly deserted now but I can hear gulls.
The ice pellets have changed over to snow. There is no way I'm setting foot out in that mess, just to block the feeder. Let the raccoons have a freebee tonight if they dare venture out. Sparrows are grabbing an evening snack as darkness falls.
