Wet and windy

The creeks were high and there was ponding in the streets from the wind and second day of rain.  The rain has not been heavy, but cold and stinging.  Soggy ground made the post for the bluebird house topple.  Buffleheads were out on the creek.  A great blue heron chased another upstream.  I believe I saw a pelican through the rain-streaked window.

Nevertheless, a parade of birds sought a meal.  A blue jay, a female red bellied woodpecker, downy woodpeckers, titmice and a yellow rumped warbler visited the feeders.  Juncos, white throats and song sparrows, and Carolina wrens foraged on the ground but occasionally flew up to the feeders.  A goldfinch wanted something but the seed feeder was too busy and the suet wasn't suitable for a vegan.
