A heron landed on the dock bench at breakfast. The yellow rumped warbler was busy eating suet. Blue jays kept eluding the camera as they snatched bark butter balls. A lone male red breasted merganser paddled around the creek.
Despite a threatening sky, only little rain fell around mid day. But the temperature reached 77°F and the air was humid. A bird I think was an orange crowned warbler devoured suet. The yellow rumped warbler shared the suet with a downy woodpecker - it was that or go hungry. The female red bellied woodpecker played peek-a-boo with the post before settling on the suet.
Meanwhile, a flock of gulls had a feeding frenzy. They were mostly immature ring bills, but there was one great black backed gull among them.
