Scoundrelly squirrel

A squirrel has been feasting on the horizontal suet.  Apparently it's easier to reach than vertical was.  Before: a male downy woodpecker feeds on the suet.  After: the squirrel has dragged it over.


In the late morning, a mockingbird soloed in the pecan.  A few buffleheads were out on the windy creek.  Titmice traded with the downy woodpeckers on the suet.  A blue jay found something of interest over by the beautyberry.

It was windy all day and the sky grew increasingly cloudy.  By late afternoon it looked like rain any minute.  Carpenter or miner bees were busy with the blueberries and the rosemary.  A crane fly was frantic to get through the window glass.  A rather hefty wasp also banged on the window.  There was a tent caterpillar web in the cherry. 


The wretched cat stalked along the edge of the spartina.  I wonder if it was hunting crabs?
