The day started out sunny but a haze became thicker and after lunch there were cumulus clouds building on the Southwest that met the sun by mid afternoon.
After breakfast, however, when the day was still bright, a male bluebird landed on the suet. He didn't eat it but just sat there, looking at the creek then back at me. Soon a male pine warbler landed on the suet but soon flew up to the wrought iron vine from which the suet hung. He clearly would have liked to eat more, but the bluebird was bigger and he didn't quite dare. Eventually the warbler gave up and then the bluebird left as well.
After lunch, a titmouse joined chickadees at the sunflower feeder. But when the sun disappeared, so did they. Curiously, I saw no white throats. Mallards were out on the creek, but I did not say any winter migrants. Egrets and cormorants hung around the dead snags on the lake.
Soon the light dropped lower than the camera could handle. Then the feral cat showed up. K let it know it was not welcome. And then I left for a meeting.
