The sun and the birds came back, but oh, it was cold! At 7:30am when it was 35°, I saw a crow, a pelican, two female orioles, a myrtle warbler, and a chickadee. The maple tree was flowering.
By noon, the temperature had climbed to 42°. I saw a pair of bluebirds, a pine warbler, a myrtle warbler, and a junco before the feral cat butted in. I chased off the cat and got a better view of the creek, so I was able to count a pair of mallards,a cormorant, a pelican, and a great blue heron. When they were sure the cat was gone, a titmouse, a house finch, a cardinal, a chickadee, and an oriole came out to eat.
After lunch, (44°) I counted a pied bill grebe, an egret, two pine warblers, a Carolina wren, a goldfinch, a pair of house finches, two male bluebirds that kept chasing each other away, downy and red bellied woodpeckers, two juncos, three orioles, a mockingbird, a white throated sparrow, a crow, a starling, and two brown headed nuthatches.
