Icy and bright

Snow or ice pellets collected on the furniture, dock, and pool cover.  The creek was loaded with ruddy ducks and I saw a pintail pair and a hooded merganser.  Pelicans cruised by and one landed on the water.  A heron supervised from the bulkhead.  The squirrel was determined to get the last of the suet.  Clearly pepper is needed.  The regulars, juncos, white throats, yellow rumps, doves, and downy woodpeckers showed up during the morning.

An osprey sailed over us at lunch. High, corrugated cumulus clouds were set on fire at sunset though the Western horizon was clear.  I took this on my phone from the parking lot of the convention center.  Later a bright round moon rose.
