The day began overcast and wet but the sun was out by noon. The wind wasn't as strong. The temperature rose into the lower 70s and wasps feasted on the camellia flowers. I counted six buds and three open flowers on the yellow rose. An insect was investigating the buds but wouldn't stay put to be identified. Chickadees and a couple of titmice ate seeds. A squirrel cleaned up below.
I must have missed them pursuing fish upstream but around 2:30pm a big flock of cormorants came paddling and flying downstream, some bathing or churning up the water. They streamed past for several minutes. One pelican photo-bombed a picture and several gulls circled over the creek. Mallards watched from the bank.
