Morning sunshine welcomed a brown thrasher, the pair of pileated woodpeckers, a red bellied woodpecker, and several blue jays. A female bufflehead paddled and dived. Later, I saw two drakes with her. Two starlings quarreled over the suet. Bluebirds and myrtle warblers showed up at lunch time. A pair of doves wandered around the birdbath.
The temperature peaked at 69°. Clouds covered the sky in the afternoon. A Carolina wren, a white throated sparrow, and a cardinal pair found something to eat in front of the hose spigot, between the camellia and the azalea. The female red bellied woodpecker hiked up the redwood. A tiger swallowtail alighted on one off the yellow and cream daffodils. It didn't stay long.
The sunset was spectacular. As I looked Northeast, sunlight turned the distant pines orange while leaving the foreground in shade. I went outside to look West where clouds made layers of gray and fiery rose-red. .
