Between one thing and another, I missed most of the morning. I did see pelicans, migrant ducks, and I think a kingfisher fly past. The ducks looked small and white, and fast, so I couldn't be sure if they were buffleheads or hoodies. Clouds cleared and returned and finely went away leaving an intensely blue sky. A great blue heron chilled on the neighbors' dock. Mallards skimmed storm debris from the creek.
When I got outside, the temperature had risen into the 50s, but the wind was cold and the shadows were long. I spotted a junco up in the wild cherry. You know where the downy woodpecker was. Warblers were delighted with the fresh block of suet K installed. A different white throated sparrow explored the mulch. Four juncos joined it. Carolina wrens went everywhere.
I hoped to catch sight of the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, but I couldn't find a clear sight line. I did enjoy the sunset and the first quarter moon.
