Very warm

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.
