There was a thin skin of ice on the shaded near side of the creek in the early morning. A warm wind joined the sun in bring up the temperature as the day went on. The creek was not placid. A chickadee posed, turning first to one side then the other. White throat and song sparrows foraged. Later titmice showed up. The downy woodpeckers worked on the suet. Then a pine warbler appeared to share the suet.
I missed the middle of the day for a meeting. After errands, I cam home past the lake on Witchduck road and saw some
Northern shovelers. When I got home,
midges were outside on the window. On the creek, hooded mergansers fished and strutted - there was quite a chase near sunset. A dark-appearing pelican flapped upstream and egrets flew home overhead.
