Beautiful dawn

Streaky pink clouds and an orange glow to the East. It is supposed to get hot today. So far crows and an osprey are all I've seen, though I hear a lot of singing. Now that I've seen eagles flying, it is easy to distinguish osprey - the wings are a different shape and osprey have a lot more white.

The peach sapling is blooming.

Also out on the creek are egrets, geese and cormorants. The birds are cautious when I am outside but eventually they visit the feeder. I saw the white-throated sparrow again, along with juncos, finches, chickadees, titmice, and cardinals. I kept hearing jays and red wing blackbirds.
