When I got up (late), white throats and yellow rumps were hustling food. They soon disappeared. While a little rain had accumulated in the mealworm dish, what fell in the morning was negligible. I'm concerned that the warmth has encouraged buds to swell. Flickers of sun began to appear in the late morning.
Then a pine warbler arrived. Titmice, downy woodpeckers, and chickadees made frequent feeder visits. A fierce West wind drove dramatic clouds across the sky to the South of us but the view to the North stayed blue. The wind ruffled the birdbath, made waves on the creek, and set the trees to thrashing. But the gulls seemed to like it. The temperature dropped throughout the day.
