Still sunny

During breakfast, two great blue herons erupted from below out line of sight along the bank.  One chased the other downstream where they circled a couple of times and finally split up.  A pelican fished and geese passed in formation on the water.  Squirrels were out and about, and one had a problem with its tail that required a good chewing out.

While I was in the water at the rec center, two egrets flew over followed by two Navy jets in the same formation.  At lunch, more herons flew by along with pelicans.  Lots of ducks were out on the creek but no birds on the feeder. I saw female pintails and a male ruddy. 

The cormorant commute commenced in late afternoon.  The sky remained clear as it faded to a pale pink sunset.
