A mostly gray day was punctuated by intermittent rain or sunlight. The wind stripped the petals off the cherry blossoms and blew the rain sideways. Dogwoods hung on better. The creek was stuck in low tide, but it was too windy for most fishing birds to take advantage. I saw buffleheads paddling upwind. An egret tried to hunt along the tideline but it was too exposed. The temperature was in the 70s and a few turtles crawled up on their log to enjoy the warmth despite the wind. A downy woodpecker ventured out to the suet in the late afternoon.
