This morning I saw the first yellow crowned night heron of the year. The female red belly was up early. A titmouse came for seeds. And of course yellow rumped warblers were around. A squirrel ate red maple seeds. A few azalea buds had opened. The creek was very still at breakfast except when a bufflehead or a goose disturbed it. All too soon the water ruffled from wind and current. Buffleheads preened and showed off their pink feet.
At lunch, I noticed a dark egret or pale heron, but it was too far away to be sure. The two Carolina wrens shared the mealworms very civilly. The male pine warbler visited in broad daylight. Bees were busy with the rosemary and a cabbage white flitted around. Feathers on a great blue heron perched on the boatlift fluttered in the wind. The tide was quite low. 
I hung the new Home-Tweet-Home plastic birdhouse and the wind promptly buffeted it all around.
