Sunshine

The pair of wrens arrived early - good thing I had scattered some mealworms at first light.  The downy woodpeckers came separately, first her, then him.  A chickadee made a quick visit to the seed feeder.  The creek was rough even though there wasn't that much wind. 

At lunch, the wrens joined us.  One wren seems much more wary, sticking close to the azalea while the other forages all over the patio.  I think a third wren may have shown up because one suddenly chased another across the patio, then opened its beak and proclaimed victory.  A white throated sparrow stopped by very briefly.  All this was followed by a fish drive.  Cormorants came swimming and diving up the creek while gulls and egrets flew overhead,  I also saw three great blue herons.  A little while later they all came back downstream and this time the cormorants were flying too.

A fuzzy crescent moon trailed the sunset.
