Overnight, the temperature dropped back below freezing. The sky cleared and the chill brought out birds. A Carolina wren joined the white throats in the mulch. The creek was still ice-free and a mixed flock of buffleheads and ruddy ducks paddled swiftly downstream. I wonder if I missed a fish drive? Bluebirds, blue jays, and warblers came for lunch.
Crossing the HRBT, I saw a couple of gulls. Further up the Peninsula, a hawk (I think) was perched in a tree. It had a dark head and a cream chest and belly. Another hawk-size bird flew across the road. Several vultures soared on the road thermals.
