Sunny and warmer

Crows and cormorants were the only sights at breakfast. A squirrel tried to puzzle out the bird feeder with the usual lack of success.  Later white throated sparrows foraged in the mulch.  Pelicans cruised the creek and some great blue herons soared over the trees. Bees visited the rosemary despite a stiff wind. 

A male bufflehead dived and just as I thought it would reappear, a goose paddled into view.  Then a whole flock came downstream with one brown duck in their midst.
