Fitful morning sun

Geese and hoodies paddled on a mostly placid creek.  Gulls and a buzzard flew over them.  An early white throat, a downy, and repeat visits from a Carolina wren finished out the morning.

By midday the sky was clear.  The wrens were back.  Chickadees were joined by a house finch on the feeder.   A flock of hooded mergansers fished their way downstream.  At the dam outfall, egrets and a great blue heron lined the bank while geese made a second line in the water.  I don't know why the geese were there.  Cormorants were out fishing as well and crows hung around waiting for an opportunity.

 A male downy came back after dinner.  Sunset was layers of pink and blue, very pretty, but it is predicted to turn into rain overnight.
