Happy Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras. At breakfast a light fog grayed the distant pines. It didn't seem to trouble the pelicans flying low over the creek. Gulls, too, were fishing. The committee of vultures took to the trees. The two mourning doves returned. Downy and red bellied woodpeckers came for the feeders. So did a wren, a pine and a myrtle warbler, a brown headed nuthatch and starlings. Blue jays flew past but returned for breakfast.
The sun finally got through at 10am. Then a junco appeared on the seed feeder. Where was it during the bird count? Bluebirds enjoyed the sunshine. A goldfinch also wanted seeds. The pelicans kept on fishing, apparently with success judging by the splashdowns. Cormorants had the same idea.
