The birdbath was frozen. The birds got off to a slow start. Warblers and Carolina wrens had a late breakfast.
Geese were grazing below the pool close to the water. A red tailed hawk shot across the yard above them. This made the geese uneasy and they soon left. Meanwhile crows came after the hawk. When it finally gave up and left, the songbirds erupted out of the trees headed for the feeders.
A couple of turtles were basking on a log on the lake. A trio of mallards paddled by - a drake, a hen, and trailing behind a drake in eclipse.
The wren did not approve of my fastening the bark butter & grape jelly dish to the hanger. And I did not see any orioles. The wren moved on to the suet and shared with the downy woodpecker.
