Windy

The creek was rough but I glimpsed a bufflehead twice. Some new birds visited in the morning, along with the ones that have been around.  A downy woodpecker started the parade.  Then a blue jay landed on the mealworm dish.  A titmouse was open to either suet or seeds for breakfast.  Only suet would do for a male pine warbler.  Squirrels were thirsty and white throats wanted a bath.  A brown headed nuthatch appeared briefly on the suet before being jostled aside by bigger birds.

Redwing blackbirds visited along with a robin.  A yellow rumped warbler finally showed up.  A female house finch that appeared to have only one foot had difficulty staying on the feeder perch.   Another house finch examined the suet and didn't like it.
