Song and white throated sparrows, a yellow rumped warbler, and a downy woodpecker came for breakfast. The dawn sky was hazy but by late morning the clouds had congealed into patches. The regulars showed up around 9am. This house finch was rosy, but not from cold.
At noon I saw egrets congregating below the dam. They jockeyed for position and flapped at each other when they got too close.
By mid afternoon it was warmer than yesterday, above freezing, but the creek was not fully melted. A cloud bank rising in the West had swallowed the sun by 4pm. The moon rising was clear except for occasional cloud patches. Juncos joined the other hungry birds.
