It was sunny and breezy and cold. Three bluebirds showed up but the pair made it clear that the third was unwelcome. A male pine warbler found the suet and a goldfinch landed for comparison. A flycatcher (kingbird or phoebe?) surprised me by fluttering outside the window facing the camellia, but quickly flew across the yard, and away.
A commotion by the dam outfall drew my attention. Egrets and cormorants had apparently found a school and were fishing.
During lunch, I saw a pelican cruise up, then down, stream. A dredge chugged upstream. A squirrel chose the roof of the bird feeder to give itself a scrub, first face, then tail. A whole flock of white throats foraged everywhere. After lunch, I spotted a cormorant with another flat, white fish that was not going down easily.
