I thought I had figured out winter weather - a North wind brought cold, clear skies and a South wind warmed the air but clouded the sun. My algorithm isn't working any more. Today was warm and sunny. The creek was calm.
Orioles were impatient for feeder refills. Red winged blackbirds and starlings joined the orioles on the ground, looking for what I spilled. So did juncos. The sun moved far enough from the solstice that the hanging dishes got some sun. Warblers ate their fill anyway.
The rain filled the birdbath but a bluebird chose to drink from the pool cover instead. A female house finch took a bath. The maple buds looked ready to pop. Apparently the wind brought down and smashed a birdhouse. A little flock of hooded mergansers paddled around our stretch of creek. A few pelicans flew past. And the turtles crowded their log.
