Misty gray

It wasn't quite fog, but trees in the distance were pale and cloudy.  The Carolina wrens were eager to eat anything.  There was quite a flurry of birds during breakfast, but I missed most of them.  White throated sparrows resumed their search of the mulch unencumbered by snow.  A brown thrasher, a mockingbird, and blue jays were attracted by the barkbutter balls.  I glimpsed bluebirds in the trees. 

A dozen cormorants blessed our dock and left it white.  Some appeared asleep with heads tucked between their shoulder blades.  Others stretched and shook their wings to dry.  A great blue heron also landed on the dock while the tide was high.
