The yellow rump warblers had to put up with titmice, downy woodpeckers, and starlings on the suet. White throats preferred the sunflower seeds. Doves and juncos foraged on the ground. The notch-tailed squirrel tried to nibble suet but couldn't stand the pepper. It clung to the back side of the post for a long time. Ruddy ducks were out on the creek while gulls and pelicans flew above.
At mid day, osprey circled and hovered in a crystal-blue sky. Geese took over the creek. Warblers and chickadees were bold enough to come to the feeders while I was outside. Something flitted among tree trunks but I couldn't see it well enough to tell if it was a brown creeper. There is a website for bird forecasts that covers migrations! After dark I saw a bright planet, probably Venus, in the West. Appropriate for the Ides of March.
