It was sunny all day and the temperature was mild, but the wind stripped the warmth off exposed skin. A Carolina wren greeted me at breakfast. White throats were busy as well. A half dozen cormorants fished their way upstream.
The warblers, myrtle and pine, came for lunch as did a lone red-winged blackbird. A red breasted nuthatch once again got seeds without getting photographed. The goldfinch watched from the pine tree. Crows played with the wind.
The house finches had a little drama - one of two males brought the female a gift. He was allowed on the feeder perch with her, but not the other male. A titmouse just wanted a seed but got caught up in the play.
I went out to weed which naturally upset the birds. I found a nice clump of pincushion moss
Leucobryum glaucum. There were some robins in the trees and I think I saw a
cedar waxwing. I definitely saw a pied bill grebe. And by then I was half frozen and came in.
