Thick fog cloaked the trees in the morning. The yellow cat sheltered under a too small plastic table. A mockingbird protested that we hadn't uncovered the glass dish of barkbutter balls or the jelly. Well, it was wet from the fog. A red belly ate seeds. A white throat was disappointed that it had to forage but a song sparrow preferred to find its own food. A Carolina wren just looked for the feeders that were open.
The fog finally cleared by lunchtime (which was earlier than last week because we are saving daylight). While I was outside a big carpenter bee buzzed around. A myrtle warbler noticed that the barkbutter balls were now available. But so did the blue jays and bluebirds. I spotted the brown thrasher foraging under the oak. A sparrow took a bath in the pool puddle.
