Four starlings descended on the suet, but fortunately spent more time fighting over it than eating it. In between, a titmouse, a warbler, and the downy pair got some. Cardinals competed with the titmice for seeds. On the ground I saw a junco and a white throated sparrow. The creek was glassy, undisturbed by any birds. 
Lots of bugs were out in the afternoon - flies and bees, a cabbage white, and the first damselfly of the year. There were a few azalea blossoms, forsythia, and Carolina jessamine, but the bees seemed to prefer deadnettle (Lamium pupureum). The fig buds were opening. I hung the new "Tweet Tweet Home" birdhouse. Toward evening, I saw a female hooded merganser dive.
