A pine warbler, a downy woodpecker, a red bellied woodpecker, and white throated sparrows breakfasted with us. Then the yellow rumped warbler chased the pine warbler away. Bluebirds and Carolina wrens soon appeared. I glimpsed buffleheads, ruddy ducks, hoodies and red breasted mergansers on the creek.
At lunch, a brown headed nuthatch appeared. The kinglet proved he was still here. Of course the butterbutt bullied both of them and a pine warbler off the suet. Three blue jays made a pass at the dish feeder but were disappointed. Titmice hung out with chickadees and cardinals came for seeds in the afternoon. I was a little surprised to see juncos.
A couple of pelicans perched on one of the dead trees in the lake, along with cormorants and a heron. The cat was hunting in the late afternoon. One of the herons picked up a decaying fish. I hope it didn't eat any. A little later a red tailed hawk occupied the same piling, but the light was failing.
