It was very dark at breakfast and looked like the worst kind of day, windy and wet and cold. Buffleheads were out on the creek. The tide ran high from the wind. Then before 9am, the sky cleared and transformed everything.
When I returned from an appointment this morning and got out of the car, I saw something flutter by the peppers that were in the garage to keep from freezing. It was a cloudless sulphur butterfly. Another out of season sighting was a flower on the lantana.
Pine warblers came for lunch. Two male orioles showed up and perched around glaring at each other instead of sharing the jelly. White throated sparrows prospected for fallen seeds. Bluebirds went for the fresh barkbutter balls.
A squirrel was determined to get into the bird food, but had no luck. He found a good nibble on the ground. Two more squirrels appeared and all three were wary of each other. \
I went out after dark to see the moon but my photos were washed out.
