Morning was cooler with clouds and sun. The birds discovered the new block of suet and mostly figured it out, but it defeated the starlings which was the point. Titmice, downy woodpeckers, and Carolina wrens breakfasted on it. White throated sparrows stuck to the ground.
Meanwhile, an egret fished below the dam and a flock of gulls worked up and down the creek. A bufflehead pair spent more time preening than fishing.
A chickadee figured out the suet too. The temperature dropped all afternoon and clouds moved in. The gulls continued to fish, but I saw neither osprey nor pelican. A half dozen egrets gathered downstream from the dam. Geese came visiting like an unwelcome relative. The same birds came back for more suet while cardinals watched.
