The cat came back. It saw me and left the steps, but time passed before the birds returned. The birdbath froze overnight so I poured hot water into it. The oriole didn't wait for jelly, but dug into the mealworms. Both white throat and song sparrows foraged. The song sparrow paid brief visits to the mealworms. Wrens and the yellow rumped warbler also ate mealworms.
I saw the female red bellied woodpecker at work on the dogwood while the downy woodpecker ate suet. Then the butterbutt took over. The morning sky was bright but a soft South wind brought clouds.
Hoodies and a female bufflehead hurried upstream.
A heron flew over the
lake and later another landed atop a tall post on the neighboring dock. Two female buffleheads fished so close together their ripples made figure-eights. Some sunlight escaped at dusk to color the Western horizon a pale melon.
