Birds everywhere

The sky was hazy - thin blue haze in places, thicker white elsewhere - but the sun shone through.  Not much went came in the morning but woodpeckers (downy) and warblers (yellow rump) and white throats (sparrows).

Mid-day got lively.  At least two pine warblers appeared. one had a run-in with a downy woodpecker. A pair of bluebirds checked out the feeders.  I put out mealworms but they didn't come back.  Titmice went after the suet.

Osprey, pelicans, and gulls fished the creek.  One pelican kept following a great black-backed gull around.  I only saw one duck, a ruddy I think. 

In the late afternoon, heavier clouds rolled down from the North, leaving a golden horizon to the West.
