Cold wind

The cat came by, its belly hanging low.  Pregnant?  After it disappeared the white throats reappeared.  A male downy worked on the suet.  A blue jay got away without a photo.  So did two ospreys that zoomed upstream.

A red breasted merganser paddled downstream.  A yellow rumped warbler was growing a black mask for breeding season.  Another still had a gray face.  I chased, with the camera, a gnatcatcher through the trees. 

A different kind of hawk was run off by crows.  It had a pale underside with no markings that I could see.  And it had a stick in its beak.  I did some weeding and seeding and then came back in to get warm.  The wind grounded all the insects except flies.
