A mockingbird was not pleased to find only dust in the barkbutter dish. White throats pecked through the mulch and leaf litter. A Carolina wren joined the search.
Most of the action, however, was on the creek as the weather continued warm and windy. A raft of at least 15 ruddy ducks floated and dived. An egret monitored the lake. Toward evening, the tide was very low. A pelican landed near a ruddy -- what a contrast in size. I spotted one hooded merganser female among the ruddy ducks paddling away from the pelican.
