More rain

At breakfast, a downy woodpecker ate suet while a blue jay had bark butter balls.  The bluebirds wanted some but were left with crumbs.  White throats just hunted fallen seeds.  Pelicans cruised over the water while gulls floated and squabbled.  As we were leaving I spotted a sapsucker on the pecan. 

After lunch, Carolina wrens inspected everything.  The bluebirds were back.  Titmice came for seeds.  One sang for its lunch.  The warblers continued their war.  And that made the kinglet raise his crown.  The starlings came back, frustrating the downy woodpecker.  Then the male red bellied woodpecker wanted the suet. The female came later. 

The gulls were still making a commotion over the rotting fish.  Several black back gulls were involved, as well as a horde of brown juvenile gulls.  I saw a pair of hooded mergansers briefly.
