Changeable weather

Morning was warm and the sky was blue.  The only sight at breakfast was a cormorant acting weird.  It appeared to be trying to keep its wings out of the water while paddling furiously.  I had to rush off to an appointment.  Lots of mockingbirds were out performing as I came home. 

I saw the first skinklet of the year at lunch time.  The poor thing probably had no idea the temperature would soon to drop.  I glimpsed the red bellied woodpecker but it dropped out of sight behind a bush.  A myrtle warbler was almost dressed for summer as it ate bark butter.

Storm clouds moved in and sprinkles started around 5pm  Egrets hung out around the dam outfall.  A great blue heron perched by the lake and another hiked along the bulkhead.  Two bufflehead drakes and a female went downstream in the rain, diving and popping up to dive again.
