Frost everywhere but the creek is only half iced. Squirrels were busy in the frosted mulch. Nuthatches, titmice, and juncos visited the feeder while sparrows scurried on the ground.Woody went to work on the sweet gum, then after giving one spot a good hammering, hopped over to a pine. Actually, all I could see was the silhouette so I don't know if it was male or female. The sky is again cloudless.
The birdbath was still frozen at 11 so I poured hot water in. A white-throated sparrow was grateful. Nuthatches and chickadees were visiting the feeder. I decided to watch the evening commute from the dock. Three female buffleheads paddled downstream, then one took off and the setting sun highlighted the splashes. The moon is at first quarter and the cormorants are flying in formation in larger groups at sunset.
