A Carolina wren was up before me. White throated sparrows searched the mulch for fallen seeds. A bufflehead drake paddled on the choppy creek. But the most interesting event was a titmouse attacking the egg sack left by the Argiope spider up in the cherry. I wonder if the warm temperature caused the spiderlings to hatch.
A yellow rumped warbler showed up in the afternoon. A chickadee proposed sharing the suet but the warbler objected. The chickadee prevailed.
Later a robin stopped by for a drink. It had a bent tail feather. A male downy woodpecker ate suet. The oak tree caught a grocery bag. And a hawk perched in a pine across the creek which scared everyone away.
It was quite warm in between gusts of wind, and fairly sunny, though
the sky was never clear. The wind from the Southwest ruffled altocumulus clouds into ridges and popcorn.
