Frost and herons

The dock, the roof, and some patches of mulch and grass have frost. Quite a few great blue herons have passed through and one stopped to sun across the creek. Then a skein of geese passed by headed up the creek.

Then some starlings landed in the top of the redwood - we have never had starlings back here away from the main road. A yellow-rumped warbler visited the rosebush. Doves scouted the patio, juncos argued on the roof, and a wren looked everywhere for breakfast. It took possession of the feeder, which I need to refill soon. Squirrels were busy too.The ubiquitous crows are rushing around.

Mid afternoon, a squadron of geese paddled upstream. A few minutes another of cormorants went by, paddling and diving.
