I noticed yesterday that the time between sunrise and sunset was already 7 minutes longer than 12 hours. But just after midnight today was when the sun was over the equator according to
this. Not that anyone would notice as today dawned gloomy and wet. A strong wind pushed the tide high and blew oak blossoms off the tree. Chickadees, titmice, and house finches visited the feeder and a downy woodpecker came for suet. I saw sparrows and juncos on the ground. An osprey and crows were in the air.
A starling came but I think the camera scared it off. A cardinal repeatedly booted a white throat off the feeder. A dove landed by the birdbath. Chickadees checked out the birdhouse. A great blue heron flew downstream into a headwind. A pine warbler made a very brief appearance on the suet, but the camera refused to focus. Something about the pattern of the wire cage for the suet confuses the camera's software, I think. A juvenile yellow rump also got some suet. I wonder what became of the butterbutt that drove them off?
A squirrel figured out how to eat suet. A great blue heron flew downstream to fish at the dam outfall. The wind had dried things out during the morning but the rain came back in the middle of the afternoon. It did not stop an egret from hunting along the creek bank.
