This morning we walked on our beach for about a mile. No rain, no wind, very calm. The tide was out as far as I can ever remember seeing it. There were sandbars exposed a long ways out, and literally hundreds of gulls out there, calling, eating, squabbling. We walked along and their constant distant calling was an accompaniment to our walk. We saw ravens and an eagle or two as we went along.
Back home, there have been two yellow warblers in the birdbath, along with our usual assortment of pine siskins, a few redpolls, and chickadees. Two or three immature Myrtle warblers. And an occasional robin joining the crowd. Nuthatches come to the feeders, but I rarely see them bathing, although they delicately sip water.
