Chilly and sunny


The male downy was the first to breakfast followed by at least three white throats.  On the way to my meeting I saw a flock of ducks in Lake Smith, hooded mergansers or buffleheads or both.  On a snag nearby was a red tailed hawk. 

In the afternoon, both pine and yellow rumped warblers showed up.  Lots of juncos joined the white throats.  They were both up on the feeder as well as on the ground.  Canada geese and buffleheads plied the creek and gulls flashed white against the blue sky.  But it stayed cold.  The suet block is almost gone.  Soon I'll have to see if the cheap brand I got at the greenhouse will satisfy the birds.  Otherwise I'll need to make a trip back to Hilltop.
