A pink dawn turned into a cloudy morning. The creek was placid but still high. The female orioles were back and bullying the pine warblers. The red bellied woodpecker put them all to flight. Bluebirds watched from a distance. So did a goldfinch until it settled on the sunflower seeds. Then a bluebird tried the seeds.
Butterbutts scurried around the birdbath. A Carolina wren wanted to get past a bluebird on the seed feeder. Finally it seemed to decide, the heck with waiting, and went to work on the suet. The scarred white throated sparrow gleaned what had fallen from the feeders.
A squirrel was baffled by the seed feeder's squirrel proof mechanism. The clouds broke up and we had some sun. I picked up the branches that had come down in the storm. Many of them had jelly fungus attached. I found a gill mushroom in the grass that looked a bit like a shitaki. A pelican roosted on the channel marker.
