On this blog: gardening and wildlife. Life in Northern California, and an archive of postings from Long Island's southern shore, amid the wetlands... restoring house and garden.

Early-morning Saturday
Mackerel sky swimming away slowly south. Hazy white bay. Five little WW2-like planes propelling their way east, following the barrier island. Calm but vocal birds: crackly redwing blackbirds, catbird, martens. The mockingbirds are no longer crazy, they must be too occupied filling tiny beaks.
Yesterday two ospreys rode thermals above the house: one had a silver fish, face-forwards, in it's grasp, but still sailed around and around, higher and higher in the warm air.
