Chill wind

A cold front rolled South in the night bring rain and a big drop in temperature,  The sky cleared around dawn which again tinted the clouds.  The wind pushed the tide much higher than one would expect for a moon approaching first quarter.

The chilly wind may have discouraged birds and bugs.  I saw none of the latter and only a few birds.  A male cardinal bumped the window and a male finch visited the feeder.  A yellow rumped warbler and a titmouse sampled the suet but got away before I could focus. A buzzard circled. 

Geese and mallards were out on the water and the new neighbor fished from his dock.  I got a glimpse of an egret by the dam outfall.
