Early morning was gray and the creek was flat with grayed reflections. After breakfast I paid more attention to outdoors and saw a bluebird and a mockingbird, and then the feral cat. The mockingbird came back when the cat left but other birds were slow to return.
At lunch time a brown thrasher joined the mockingbird. Starlings took over the suet but didn't stay long. The day got very warm. More plants flowered. Pollen left lines on the pavement like the lines of sea detritus on wet sand. Cabbage whites flitted around.
Brown headed nuthatches were all over the bluebird house today. I looked this up online and learned it's a common behavior.
A dozen turtles filled up the available logs on the lake. A pied bill grebe seemed more distinctly marked today. Maybe it's getting ready to mate. I took some pictures of a water bottle thinking it was a rare bird.
