I was up early. The wretched cat was prowling along the creek. It looked like it hunts crabs. A pelican flew downstream. At breakfast there were several white throated sparrows in the mulch. Titmice came for seeds. A downy woodpecker worked on the final shreds of suet. I suppose I won't see it again till fall.
I was away from before 10am to after 4pm. Around noon, snow fell in Norfolk. It wasn't that cold so the flakes melted immediately, but the WNW wind was howling straight down from the Blue Ridge. The sky was gray before noon, but the sun soon returned. When I headed home there were low clouds that looked like rain falling and high, puffy cumulus, but mostly blue sky.
Three osprey performed aerial acrobatics in the wind over the creek. Titmice and chickadees struggled out between gusts to snatch seeds. A wren landed on the empty suet cage and looked all around for where the food was hiding. Five robins hunted in the grass down the bank. A male kingfisher landed on a piling downstream.
In the late afternoon, clouds got thicker in the sky to the West. The wind pushed the tide very low. The clouds rolled away East by sunset.
