The male downy woodpecker came before it was fully light and didn't stay long. Although the sun was bright, the wind eliminated any reflection from the creek and added to the chill. Geese paddled on the glittering water. Later, two Carolina wrens and three white throated sparrows foraged around the patio. I had dumped the dust and fragments from the trail mix and they loved that. Peanuts are clearly a favorite. One wren seemed much bolder than the other. It perched on the patio chair. 
The sparrows popped up throughout the morning. At lunch (which was late), a great blue heron perched on the dock bench. Redwood twigs made it impossible to photograph. A birdwing grasshopper appeared in the sunlight near the pool cover.The night sky was clear and the half moon bright.
