Good fishing

Pelicans and cormorants filled a dock downstream.  Others paddled on the creek.  Meanwhile, back at the feeders, the warbler was again frustrated by a wren.  House finches paid no attention.   The sky was mostly white but muted sunshine leaked through.

By late morning it had gotten very windy.  Gulls circles and buffleheads and cormorants were out on the creek.  The woodpeckers were on the suet.  The great blue heron was in its favorite spot.  The Carolina jessamine has started to bloom during each warm spell and then gotten frozen flowers.  Today's warmth had it trying again. 

Sunset was a burning eye in streaky, smudgy clouds.  After the sun dropped out of sight, the clouds became pink.  A nearly full moon was bright in the East.
