The female red bellied woodpecker was back at dawn. Ridges of broken cloud caught color from the sun but the light on the ground was diffuse and shadowless. The two yellow rumped warblers appeared to have made peace. Sparrows and doves flocked on the ground and a pair of towhees lurked in the shrubbery. Gulls sailed over and mallards paddled the creek.
The downy woodpeckers came later and frustrated the butterbutt. There were flashes of sun, but mostly the clouds covered the sky.
Mallards and buffleheads were out on the creek but the buffleheads did not stay on the surface long. I got lots of pictures of ripples. A flock of gulls wheeled back and forth apparently chasing the one in front.
