72° today! The day-long gray overcast finally began to rain in the late afternoon. A pelican perched on one of the dock posts, looking like a figurehead or a gargoyle. Other pelicans frequently passed over the creek. A great blue heron stood on the dock for a long time.
Crows perched in the redwood, then flew over the house. I wonder if there was a hawk? I know there was a cat, but the crows ignored it. Warblers also ignored the cat while they ate. A myrtle warbler followed the orange crowned warbler on the jelly dish. Pine warblers stuck with barkbutter balls. A red bellied woodpecker did too, but was too fast for the camera. The bluebirds argued about who got to eat first.
On the ground, a song sparrow enjoyed the barkbutter balls I'd let fall. A white throated sparrow was more interested in fallen seeds. The camellia still had flowers. Last week's cold snap did not freeze the buds.
