Kingfisher!

At breakfast, a blue jay flew in but refused to try the bark butter in a tub.  White throats foraged under the beauty berry bush.  A bufflehead floated past.  The air was much warmer and the sky was overcast. 

When we got home hoodies were out on the creek.   A male downy and a red breasted nuthatch tried to share the suet. A squirrel acted crazy chasing an itch. 

I saw a kingfisher zooming downstream as I stepped outside.  I think it had been on our dock.  The trees were losing leaves but staying colorful.  The tropical milkweed looked healthy.  Even the mum seemed to be adjusting.  I heard lots of birds but had trouble seeing them.  The sun bored through the clouds as I walked around.  But after dark, it rained.
