More gloom

Under the gray sky on a placid creek, a pelican slowly paddled downstream.  Geese also disturbed the dull reflections.  At the feeders, I saw the oriole, the red belly, a nuthatch, and many white throats.  One white throat continued to raid the mealworms.  Then they all cleared out. The squirrel that likes to make big leaps through the trees also had a taste for hickory buds. 

A crow stalked around the redwood as though it had lost something there.  The downy woodpeckers and the wrens arrived mid day.  By then the mealworm dish was empty so the wren had to eat suet.  A light rain began after 8pm with the temperature in the 60s.
