Going gray

At breakfast, the creek was a glowing mirror.  The pileated woodpeckers were up with the sun.  Soon the female red bellied woodpecker arrived.  Warblers and bluebirds were hungry too.  A mockingbird scurried around under the feeders.  Pelicans, geese, egrets, and cormorants flew past.  

A brown headed nuthatch feasted on seeds.  Orioles arrived for their favorite foods.  A white throated sparrow rummaged in the mulch.  It was joined by a female junco and a chipping sparrow.  Then the cat pounced out of nowhere.  I called the dog and he obliged.  

By lunch time the sky had clouded over.  An egret flew to land across the creek but didn't stay long.  A great blue heron watched the lake.  Two turtles sat on the log.  More pelicans flew by.  A myrtle warbler found the block of suet outside my window.
