Chilly

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.
