Overcast

Several geese families brought goslings to eat our new grass.  A brown thrasher preferred to toss fresh mulch.  A female hummingbird fed on rosemary and perched in the wild cherry.  The wrens continued to move in.  The female downy got seeds from the feeder, hammered some on the post and carried off the rest.  House finches gave way to her even though she didn't act aggressive.   And titmice slipped in whenever the other birds left the feeder alone.

The last time I saw a junco was on the 14th of April.  White throated sparrows hung around for another ten days. The winter migrant ducks were gone after the first week of April.

There was a bit of blue sky and a few moments of sunshine in the afternoon.  An osprey flew over but kept going.  A titmouse stuffed itself with seeds at suppertime.  The cardinal pair were courting again.  They both looked very round this evening.
