The wind was not nearly as fierce as yesterday but the birdbath was solid ice. I poured hot water in and put jelly out for the oriole. There were robins again. A couple of blue jays squabbled over the mealworm dish. A downy woodpecker worked on the last of the suet. Carolina wrens slipped in for their share of mealworms. And sparrows ran around everywhere.
When I got home, K had put a new block of suet in the cage and had pried out the ice in the birdbath and filled it with water. The butterbutt was delighted with the new suet as was the red bellied woodpecker. The sparrows appreciated the water. Titmice were more interested in seeds. Pelicans and great black back gulls fished in the creek. High cirrus haze gradually became a white sky.
