A misty, moisty morning

It was evident that there was rain overnight and mist began to dot the glass around 9am.  Pelicans cruised the creek.  A lone male bufflehead paddled aimlessly until a small flock of hooded mergansers arrived.  But they left without him.  A group of female pintails headed upstream.  On the feeder, the regulars took turns. A white throat scuttled under the azalea.

At lunch, titmice were mobbing the feeder.  A little later a thrush hit a window, this time in the back near the feeder.  It didn't seem too disoriented and soon ran into the bushes.  I'm not sure why this is happening now - its not the season for territoriality and the visibility was very different on the two occasions.
