Cold rain

I had to go across town for an appointment that ate the whole morning.  The female red bellied woodpecker was on the suet when I got home, but she bolted,  So did a blue jay. But a whole flock of mourning doves stayed on the patio hunting spilled seeds.  White throated sparrows mingled with the doves twice their size. 

Eventually, a yellow rumped warbler landed on the suet.  Then the blue jay came back and took over.  Meanwhile a song sparrow went for mealworms.  A Carolina wren finished them off.  A junco poked around under the feeder.  And of course there were titmice, chickadees, house finches, and a cardinal.  A downy woodpecker ignored the rain to reach the suet.
