A Carolina wren explored every nook of the patio. A couple of goldfinches visited in their plain winter plumage. White throats and a few juncos scurried around the patio. A sick male house finch hung around the feeder and birdbath.
I saw cormorants and ducks fishing on the creek and a mallard pair that kept getting in the way. Fortunately photos revealed that the ducks were common mergansers.
Wispy ice clouds became a streaky stratus overcast tat blurred the sun by mid day. By evening it had thickened enough to block the sunset except for some golden streaks to the North. It began to sprinkle after dark and by 8pm it was sleeting. A gusty wind made the icy rain sting.
