Cold and damp

A heavy mist hung in the air all day.  The creek was busy with fishing birds. The eagle looked wet and miserable as it hunched on a post, till it flew off after a great blue heron.  Pelicans flew past frequently and plunged occasionally. 

Tiny leaves emerged on a wild cherry tree.  It was strange to see camellias and daffodils.  

The yellow rumped warblers continued to waste energy fighting over the suet.  A brown thrasher found the feeders slippery when wet.  The male downy worked on the last nubbin of suet.  Titmice and chickadees stayed with the sunflower seeds.  A white throat scurried under a patio chair.
