I missed much of the morning, but the sky cleared and both the temperature and the wind rose. I took a picture of the thermometer to prove we hit 70. Gusts created leaf flurries and stripped the maple bare. I wasted pixels trying to get the leaves in flight. Taking a movie would have been more sensible but I didn't think of it.
Mallards and a pied-bill grebe were out on the choppy creek. A downy woodpecker was not deterred by the wind but something else spooked it. There was a second flower on the paper narcissus. I checked on the spider egg sack and it looked like it might have been opened. But I couldn't get close enough to be sure.
