A great blue heron watched the tide rise into the yard, driven by the wind and moon. I saw a kingfisher but it flew off before I could find an unobstructed view.
A mockingbird and others to fast to identify worked on the dogwood in the front yard. In the back, it seemed like there was a flock of woodpeckers, but perhaps there were only the sapsucker and the red belly I caught on tree trunks. A blue jay, a brown thrasher that banged the window, and lots of smaller birds were silhouetted by the overcast sky.
Dark cloud bands passed through but no rain fell. Fall colors were dulled by the thick overcast. A raft of leaf-meal and pine needles floated on the creek.
Two egrets perched in the trees over the lake. I was taking a picture of one when the other flew through the frame.
