Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Creek action
This was a lovely day, warm and sunny, and not too windy. The creek was busy but the feeders were not. I saw some bees, or perhaps yellow jackets, buzzing around the roses. Trees were coloring up and beginning to lose leaves. The solomon's seal turned hay-color. Pelicans fished but I got no pictures. A kingfisher landed on a dock post but saw me first and flew away. Cormorants didn't care. K cleaned the guano off the window. In the late afternoon, something plunged after a fish and, while the photos were overexposed, it looked to me like a black crowned night heron. Then an egret flew across the creek. Cormorants commuted to their roosts and sunset arrived at 5pm.
