Clear sky

Juncos are up early and busy at the feeder. I'm being careful to note seasonal birds because otherwise it's impossible to know the last time I see them.

A cold wind is blowing. A heron is lurking in the reeds below the dam. A pelican cruised the creek and one great blackback gull evicted another from its favorite piling. Chickadees are on the feeder now.

At lunch, something desirable in the water attracted two pelicans and a blackback gull. After considerable circling the gull was left in possession. The commotion attracted what I think is an immature eagle.

In the afternoon. finches, chickadees, juncos, and a female cardinal all visit the feeder. The wind is very cold though the sun is warm.
