A Change in the Weather coming
The warmest part of the day was the earliest. Maybe that is why there were so many birds in the park today, ahead of the north wind. This was the first time this year and actually in a very long time I have seen a Great Blue Heron in the creek. All the birds of various types seemed to be gathering together in the same trees or very close to each other, almost all in the most northern area of the park with trails. There were both Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers.

The yellow tip on the tail made me think this was a Cedar Waxwing. I saw a lot more of them later in another part of the park where I could see the shape of the top of the head.

Could this be a Purple Finch instead of a House Finch?

These ducks have moved out of the creek into this temporary pond caused by the latest rains. I wondered what it was they were finding to eat at the bottom of it.
