Foggy

A thick, heavy, wet mist obscured everything beyond the creek.  Egrets flew upstream, white on white, but I only caught the trailing feet of one on camera.  A few squirrels were out having breakfast.

The mist turned into overcast and the birds came out.  There were white throats and juncos on the ground, titmice and the regulars at the feeder, and woodpeckers on the suet.  I also saw a goldfinch and what I think was a male oriole.  So I went out and bought grape jelly.

Toward the end of daylight, a junco poked through the mulch while a male downy woodpecker worked on the suet.  Then the gray sky darkened to night.  All day it was windless and the creek glassy, but it had nothing to reflect and only geese disturbed the water.
