Wind from the SW brought the temperature up to 70°F and drove the water out of the creek. I believe I saw whitecaps, and even the birdbath had waves.
Sparrows were out scavenging what had been hidden by show. Eventually, I put jelly and mealworms out, and the oriole was right there. Warblers and woodpeckers attacked the suet while titmice weren't so picky. The wrens took longer to arrive. A large flock of crows wheeled around the sky dancing on the wind. A buzzard flew fairly close.
The same birds were still around at lunch and a pine warbler joined them. Then the red bellied woodpecker took over the suet. A lone robin came for a drink. The downy woodpecker pair shared the suet for a while. The tide went as low as I can recall seeing it. Up on the lake the water was high and a flock of shovelers strained it through their big bills.
Wispy clouds made a glorious sunset.
