Breezy

Leap Day was shirtsleeve weather with passing clouds.  The squirrels continued their activities - courting and acrobatics.  I chased starlings off the suet repeatedly.  Carolina wrens were into everything, as usual.  Several doves came by but were startled off when I fussed at the starlings. 

Buffleheads fished around the dam outflow.  A heron flew in and landed under the dock across the creek, (the tide was out) and another heron came flying downstream and chased it away.  A turkey vulture tilted on the wind while gulls played in the air. 

At lunch I saw a cabbage white, possibly two!  An odd little bug was silhouetted on the glass.  Other than that it was mostly downy woodpeckers and the jealous warbler.  An egret fished downstream from the dam, an area that became visible when the pool repair work included pruning.
