Still windy

It was still quite windy and much colder under an intensely blue sky.   A female bluebird was up early collecting nesting material.  A blue jay only wanted to collect breakfast.  The cardinals were courting.  A starling sparkled in the morning sunlight.  The new leaves on the oak shimmered in the wind and sun.  Bumblebees visited the money plant flowers.  Juncos were still here but I didn't see the orioles.  Hickory buds swelled but didn't open yet.  On the lake, an egret and a few turtles warmed up in the late afternoon.
