North wind

The sunshine was back but the price was chilly wind.  During breakfast a flock of cormorants chased fish up the creek.  Eventually they came straggling back downstream.  

When we came home after lunch, the feeder birds were busy.  Some of them seemed anxious to stay out of sight like the song and white throated sparrows that never let me get a picture.  Downy woodpeckers had competition from the male red bellied woodpecker.  Then the orange crowned warbler wanted some suet too. 

Hooded mergansers paddled past.   Buds on the oak looked like they were beginning to swell.  After dark I found an unpleasant visitor in the garage.
