Blue sky flood

 The yellow rumped warbler was still frustrated by the new suet arrangement.  But the downy woodpecker liked it.  Pelicans flocked to the creek to avoid the strongest winds. Two shared a downstream dock with cormorants.  A great blue heron stood on the bulkhead.  Red breasted and hooded mergansers fished in the creek. 

The Hague was way over its bank this morning.  It was a wind and tide flood, the wind having shifted to almost due North.  And it was considerably higher than the full moon tide on March 1st. 

A dozen female red breasted mergansers were accompanied by three drakes.  Crows landed on the pool cover to get a drink.  Three blue jays were disappointed that the mealworms had been gobbled up.
