When I came out to the kitchen, a pine warbler was glowing in the early sunshine. Titmice soon appeared, then yellow rumped warblers and Carolina wrens. A male red bellied woodpecker ventured out of the trees for some suet.
Buffleheads, mostly drakes, came and went all day. There were pelicans cruising over the creek but I didn't see any on the water. As long as they are flying, they are screened by twigs from the camera. Later, a handful of female red breasted mergansers and one male chased a school of fish. Cormorants joined the hunt.
Clouds thickened till the afternoon was overcast. A goldfinch perched on the feeder hanger but left without any seeds. A few white throats kicked mulch while a blue jay watched from the trees. A downy woodpecker came for suet.
