The day began overcast. My first sight was a downy woodpecker as usual. The creek was quiet after days of wind-driven roughness. Not much else happened till late morning. Then two pine warblers argued over who got to peck suet. A mockingbird snatched mealworms just as my camera battery died.
Titmice came for lunch. Many small birds flitted among the tree branches on the far side of the pool. I was able to see that one of them was a butterbutt. Another was a house finch. And many were chickadees. The sparrows were late and cranky. Two song sparrows flew at each other. The white throats weren't much better. A Carolina wren found something interesting behind the post. Meanwhile the squirrels continued to flirt. Some buffleheads were out on the creek as boats with hopeful fishermen passed by. It began to rain after lunch.
