I didn't see any birds earlier, but as soon as my hands were sticky, here they came. Bluebirds and pine warblers checked out the menu but didn't dine. Brown headed nuthatches tried for sunflower seeds in between the house finches, chickadees, and titmice. A pair of winter drab goldfinches poked around the birdbath. The female downy woodpecker feasted on suet. I believe I saw a male oriole up in the oak. A pelican flew downstream but still no migrant ducks arrived. After lunch the birds disappeared.
Clouds returned in the afternoon. An egret flew downstream and cormorants flew in every direction. In the evening the clouds lit up in streaks of pink. The creek quietly reflected the pink and blue sky.
