I left before sunrise for a meeting and got back around 9am. A
squirrel behaved very strangely at the far end of the pool. It fondled
and bit pieces of pinebark at the base of the dogwood. It rolled around
like a cat on catnip. Sparrows were active. Titmice, nuthatches, and
warblers were all after the remnant of suet. Wrens and the song sparrow
preferred mealworms. Ruddy ducks were still around. A pelican flew
over the creek. The sky was clear at first but then cumulus clouds blew
in.
After lunch I went outside to see what
plants thought it was Spring. Most of the bulbs were in bloom. Buds on
the oak were swollen. Leaves and buds were showing on the
blueberries. Birds mostly stayed out of sight though I caught a glimpse
of a kingfisher. Only one turtle was out on a log today. The clouds
kept filling in and building up till the sky was overcast.
