Sunshine was intermittent all the cold day. A Carolina wren was one of the first visitors. A white throated sparrow used the rose thorns for protection. Downy woodpeckers visited while the sun was shining. I cussed out the cat for scaring the birds.
There was lots of pelican activity but, as always, vegetation was in the way. I finally got a mostly unobstructed shot. A great blue heron perched on the fallen tree in the lake. It was not a day for turtles. A female bufflehead paddled swiftly upstream leaving a wake. A cormorant made the water boil before it surfaced. Bufflehead drakes finally showed up when the light was going. One nearly collided with a goose.
