The female red bellied woodpecker was back again, as were the downy pair. Robins were thirsty. A blue jay had a taste for mealworms. And the first junco since the snow melted mingled with the sparrows. Then the starlings came back. They were pretty but I cannot afford the way they go through food. It's a good thing they don't get along. Titmice and nuthatches waited till the coast was clear.
Several snowy egrets and one great egret hung out at the dam outfall. I saw a pelican, but it eluded the camera. A flock of cormorants swam upstream while a great blue heron watched. In the afternoon, a small flock of ruddy ducks bobbed on the water.
K had put out fresh seeds and a squirrel was determined to break into the feeder. Both pine and yellow rumped warblers wanted suet. The song sparrow joined the white throats. Doves were around. Finally the oriole appeared. Several crows were around and one landed on the patio to work on an edible it had acquired.
