An egret caught the early sun and reflected it. Myrtle warblers were getting breakfast at the barkbutter dish. They were soon followed by bluebirds. Blue jays tried to frustrate my camera. The red bellied woodpeckers ventured out to the suet. White throated sparrows danced on the mulch. And then the cat scared them all off.
A female kingfisher rested briefly on a dock post downstream. I saw no sign of the male. Further downstream, a pelican perched on the channel marker. A hoodie drake paddled back and forth and fed like a dabbling duck. Turtles basked. And a great blue heron stalked through the water. A young ring bill gull watched the creek.
I saw a beetle and a butterfly! A buzzard circled low over the creek.
