Spring began with sunshine. The usual suspects came to breakfast: downy woodpeckers, white throated sparrows, Carolina wrens, and titmice. I sat outside around noon which distressed the birds somewhat. The butterbutt glared at me. I learned that the titmouse was the source of the loud whistle repeated three times. I spied a nuthatch upside down on the oak. A blue jay hung around during lunch and, for the first time, I saw it go after suet.
Hoodies and buffleheads were out on the creek. Shovelers and other ducks stayed up on the lake. Turtles basked on the logs. I saw the grebe again. An osprey hit the water but came up empty taloned.
