Hot!

I thought I would be tied up in meetings all day but the climate change meeting let out early.  My car said 78 when I got home but then clouds rolled in, the wind picked up, and the temperature dropped.  On the way home I noticed that the bradford pear on the Witchduck embankment is budding out - it's always one of the first.  Maples have been blooming for several days.

At home, I saw pelicans, gulls, and osprey fishing.  Tufted titmice and yellow rumped warblers went for suet while chickadees and finches stuck to seeds, and a dove and the notched-tail squirrel picked over what fell.  I could hear a towhee whistling.

The temperature dropped rapidly after dark.  I saw a bright planet in the East, Jupiter, I think.
