Great egrets and cormorants and a few gulls flocked to the creek to feast. I also saw one great blue heron but no fishing ducks. Mallards hung around the egrets as did a crow in the shadows. The dog objected to the invasion of big white birds.
I caught another squirrel leap. A mockingbird was back for more barkbutter balls. The downy was back at the suet. The cat came back but the dog was MIA. A cloud blanket rolled out of the West around mid morning. A great blue heron perched on one dock post and a gull on the other. Geese joined the mallards.
At lunch, two Carolina wrens joined us. Soon a pine warbler showed up. I think it had lost an eye but it seemed to be coping. The heron relocated to the back of the bench.
When I pulled into the driveway after a library run, lots of birds were flitting through the pecan. A red bellied woodpecker was working on the trunk. Then a hawk streaked across pursued by crows and other birds. Of course I didn't have the camera.
