A blue jay foraged in the early light and found an acorn. Cardinals, house finches, chickadees, and titmice ate seeds. One house finch had white spots on her head. The downy finally noticed the suet. I swear that hammering addled that bird's brain. A brisk wind stirred the creek. It lodged a dead leaf in the chain holding the suet and made it peck and flap like a bird.
The late afternoon striped the opposite bank with long shadows. The black cat prowled across the lower patio and the gang of crows showed up to call it bad names. Cumulus cloud puffs blushed peach and smoke as cormorants flew past.
