Windy & warm

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.
