Thin bars of cloud striped the blue sky. A Carolina wren joined us for breakfast. A mockingbird followed. An egret perched on a post downstream while another waded. Gulls patrolled the creek and cormorants dived. Three pelicans sunbathed on the roof of the boathouse across the creek.
Two mockingbirds came for lunch. So did a pair of bluebirds. The Carolina wren was back too, eating some of everything. While morning was sunny, over lunch the sky clouded up. Two egrets looked tor the best place to fish. Bluebirds and the occasional white throat ate barkbutter crumbs. The mockingbirds sampled the different offerings. Three daffodil varieties bloomed. A light shower occurred around 2pm, then gradually the sky cleared again.
I was looking for pelicans in the late afternoon when I spotted a kingfisher. Cormorants, pelicans, a great blue heron, and a female hoodie passed, then I saw something swoop. Crows came after it and finally I saw it between the goose fences. I was afraid it was trapped but it flew out with no trouble. Meanwhile, the kingfisher had teleported downstream.
