It’s been cold and windy again for day after day.  Sometimes we get an hour or two of pretty weather and one day we had a lovely evening.

The pussy willows have turned yellow.

And this morning there was a soft, grey mist.

There is a constant movement of birds.  Today two striking male yellow-headed blackbirds came to the feeder briefly.

It is rare to see the yellowheaded blackbirds at Ginty Creek.  I have observed them once before.  They are a bird of the open marshlands.  This immature redwing blackbird was not feeling very sure of himself.

Can’t say as I blame him!
