A cold and sunny start led to a warm, overcast day's end. The birdbath was frozen. Birds didn't get going very fast but eventually a downy woodpecker came for suet. The feral cat huddled under the cedar facing away so it appeared all black.
The creek was a perfect mirror, "as above, so below." I saw a pelican but it was gone before I could think about the camera. A bufflehead drake hung around making rings in the reflections.
By noon, clouds created a mackerel sky and by mid afternoon the overcast was solid. The temperature had risen about twenty degrees. As soon as the light was poor, out came the white throated sparrows.
