The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group. It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers. All are worthy additions to the bucket. Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment. Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.

Castro Valley, CA

This session of Project Feeder Watch starts tomorrow. If you aren't already a participant, you can still sign up and get started with online reporting by going to feederwatch.org.
Locally (Castro Valley, CA) it has been cool and crisp in the morning of late, down in the fifties. These temps frequently result in a tiny bit of condensation on appropriately oriente metal surfaces which are no doubt getting colder than dew point an some time in the early morning.
My redbuds continue to shed leaves, steadily and daily, but my apple and apricot not so much.
The pineapple sage is blooming like crazy (it does so most of the year, it seems), and I have white crowns and golden crowns as well as a new mystery bird.
