More arrivals


Hooded mergansers appeared on the creek.  They soon flew off though.  Blue jays breakfasted on the bark butter balls but eluded me. Doves loitered but I ignored them.  I snapped a shot at something in the cherry which turned out to be a flicker. 

The white throats stayed under the shrubbery and never came close.  But a yellow rumped warbler and a pine warbler were tempted by the suet.  Then a squirrel ran up the post and the pine warbler took off. 

Parachute-equipped seeds were dispersing on the chilly breeze.  The chaste tree had a flower spike amid its seeds.  Witch hazel was in flower as well.  The camellia by my window had exactly one bud, on the wrong side.  A single leaf clung to the fig.
