Warmer

Under a gray sky, I saw a crow chase an osprey downstream.  Earlier, two ospreys tussled over a perch in one of our pines.  Red bellied and downy woodpeckers came for suet.  A starling was disappointed to find an empty mealworm dish.  A yellow rumped warbler was into everything and white throated sparrows forsook foraging to eat from the seed feeder. A blue jay only watched from the trees.  The temperature peaked around 70 and the sky cleared in the afternoon but I only got glimpses between meetings.
