A sheet of cloud moved across the sky on a West wind. That pattern repeated much of the day - overcast clearing and returning. At breakfast, a blue jay got away with a load of mealworms. The yellow rumped warbler dropped suet crumbs which the sparrows pounced upon. The song sparrow went for the mealworms. Downy woodpeckers also tackled the suet remnants. Then the female red belly moved in. A male red bellied woodpecker appeared!
At lunch, titmice and nuthatches showed up. In the early afternoon, turtles hauled out on the fallen tree trunks along the lake. Pairs of shovelers and ruddy ducks paddled on the lake. Down on the creek, mallards dabbled and cormorants dived. The tide was way out, between the wind and the new moon.
