Yesterday I saw nothing but one chickadee. Today, the weather was just about the same as yesterday - upper 50s and sunny with a strong, chilly breeze, but something changed. A blue jay came by and apparently didn't want the mealworms that were in the barkbutter dish. It tried the birdbath but that had more leaves than water.
A flurry of birds arrived after lunch. I saw at least two of chickadees, titmice, brown headed nuthatches, pine warblers, and one bluebird. Nuthatches took precedence over the larger chickadees but deferred to the titmice. A pelican flew upstream. I caught a fuzzy picture of a white throated sparrow and another bird that appeared to have a rusty cap. There were many birds flitting through the trees that I couldn't pin down.
Four buds on the yellow rose looked about to open. There were buds on the moonflower vine but I question whether we will have a warm enough day for them to open. The redwood turned bronze.
