Thanksgiving was windy as well as cold so I did not go outside except once to pour warm water in the birdbath. But the cold made the birds hungry. White throated sparrows foraged under the feeder. A Carolina wren tried the suet and poked around on the ground. Then a female junco took over the feeder. House finches reappeared. So did a titmouse.
The first bufflehead of the season, a female, was out on the creek. A heron and a cormorant were on the lake snags. Two female hoodies fished while the geese glided back and forth. Then an entire flock of egrets gathered on the lake while cormorants watched from the water like periscopes.
After a mostly sunny day, the moon was bright, but behind the trees. Frost was predicted for overnight.
