I was busy all morning and into the afternoon. Meanwhile the temperature got up to 73 at least. But the sun was often veiled by thin clouds and it was quite breezy. Corners stayed wet and the air felt damp. I saw yellow jackets and a moth so the insect eating birds didn't need to come for suet. The seed eaters showed up along with downy woodpeckers. I saw that lone bufflehead drake again. At breakfast a pelican plunged into the water next to the duck. It came up empty and the bufflehead ignored it. Turtles basked in the warmth. Now that the trees were leafless, I could see the drey for which the squirrel was industriously carrying mouthfulls of leaves.
Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.
