Very low tide

I can't remember seeing so much of the far bank exposed below the bulkhead. Also, there is frost on the grass and mulch and on the dock. The sun is bright in a blue sky. A merganser did not stay long on the narrow strip of water.

Chickadees, titmice, cardinals and juncos came for breakfast. A squirrel tested the new feeder position and found it still wouldn't feed him (or her). I can hear a blue jay, and crows of course.

By mid-afternoon (when I finally got off my conference call) the sky had clouded over. It didn't feel all that much warmer either. And I didn't see any activity on the creek or around the feeder. There was some intermittent sun, but after dark it rained a bit.
