There was still wind, but it didn't seem so fierce. Nevertheless, the birds were most uncooperative. I saw the two Carolina wrens when I had my hands in dishwater. A blue jay hit the feeder and kept on going. A house wren landed on the railing, slid, and flew away. The bluebirds only went to the feeder that I have to shoot through the window screen. At least the one turtle on the lake stayed put.
Then, in the late afternoon while I waited to get into a Zoom meeting, a yellow crowned night heron perched on a piling and proceeded to preen. It was definitely shedding and it appeared that the long head plumes might be about to let go. At least seven more turtles were basking on logs in the lake. An egret preened nearby.
