Dripping

We didn't freeze overnight so the melting continued.  The snow slumped but still covered everywhere not shoveled.  Icicles ran like faucets and then crashed.  A pair of wrens shared breakfast while a female bluebird and several blue jays watched.  A butterbutt wanted a share.

A heron prospected along the bulkhead.   While I was out, I saw a brilliant orange bird I think was an oriole.  Juncos and I arrived home at lunch time.  The female red bellied woodpecker undertook to finish the suet. K replaced it with a fresh block.

Then I left again and about a quarter to four, I saw a brilliant sundog.  It persisted until I got home and got the camera.  By then the sun had dropped too low and all I got was sunset.
