Springing forward

The sun was back in the morning and the day was warmer.  The creek faithfully mirrored the trees.  The pileated woodpecker made several visits to the suet.  A crow tried to reach the barkbutter balls but gave up.  The pair of brown thrashers had better luck though they were bothered by a starling. 

Juncos and white throated sparrows showed up at lunch time.   That wretched butterbutt chased off a brown headed nuthatch before I could get a photo.  The eagle returned to the dock but flew off across the creek shortly after I noticed it.  Doves came marching up the steps.

By suppertime a blanked of clouds left only a clear hem to the Northeast.  As a result we didn't save as much daylight as promised.  Long after dark, I noticed a moth on the window - just the common little brown triangle, but early.
