There was no ice, not even on the grape jelly dish, but the dock was white. As the sign says, bridge freezes before road. At breakfast, a Carolina wren and a pine warbler got away without a picture. Only a female downy woodpecker stayed put long enough. Something I couldn't see made a V track in the flat water. Clouds moved in from the West. Around mid morning, a brown thrasher tossed mulch in its hunt for food.
By lunch time the Northwest sky had gotten dark and the sunlight was gone. Sprinkles of rain disturbed the birdbath about 2pm. Just before 4pm rain pounded on the windows. Then the sun returned for a few minutes till more clouds blew in and dark fell. In that interval. a bufflehead drake preened and cormorants flew to their roosts. A great blue heron lurked by the dam outfall behind a screen of twigs.
