Apparently I didn't see anything of note during breakfast since there are no photos. I was in a hurry to leave for Suffolk where I spent the day. A very light sprinkle of rain welcomed me home around 4pm, but then the sky cleared. It clouded and cleared a couple more times before dark.
A cardinal glowed with sunlight as it perched on the feeder. Titmice dropped in for seeds. A downy worked very earnestly at the suet, then a yellow rumped warbler did the same but kept losing its balance. A song sparrow made a very brief visit.
Several white throats kicked mulch. One had two bare patches on its belly and I wondered if that was the result of sex. Certainly other critters were feeling their hormones. Two doves bumped breasts, then air-kissed beside each other's head, then had an extremely short moment of sex. He hopped on and then off immediately. And with one last air-kiss, he left. She wandered around the mulch seeming not quite satisfied. The squirrels also were up to something.
Herons stalked along the margin of the creek at low tide. A pair of buffleheads bobbed on the water. Female red breasted mergansers were everywhere. A grebe paddled downstream. An egret hunted along the dam.
