It was wet when I got up and rain started again mid morning. It was nearly impossible to take pictures between rain on the glass and low light. I saw a red breasted nuthatch, titmice, the oriole, and sparrows - both song and white throat.
The rain lasted into the afternoon, but some sun and blue sky appeared around 3pm. Geese and mallards were out on the water. A squirrel had trouble with slippery branches. Once the sky cleared, hoodies and a female bufflehead appeared. A male kingfisher debated between perches on the boatlift across the creek and the tall post where the heron was yesterday.
Sunset was spectacular. A wedge of cloud pointing up was set to glittering by a huge red sun on the horizon. Then, as the sun sank out of sight and the clouds turned smoky gray, the West glowed a bright fuschia. Patches of the underside of the cloud caught the light and turned crimson. I was driving and used the cheap camera at stoplights.
