The sun shone briefly at breakfast before clouds covered the sky. White throats were the first birds up and then the last to visit, but were absent between dawn and dusk. The Carolina wren continued to win our camera contest Squirrels frisked around the birdbath, thinking about mating.
Toward noon the warblers appeared: pine, orange crowned, and yellow rumped/myrtle. The downy woodpeckers also wanted suet. The seed feeder regulars were joined by a titmouse and red breasted nuthatches.
There were short interludes of sky clearing and sunlight. Buffleheads were on the water but always seemed to be behind vegetation. Hoodies were more cooperative. I saw a pelican early and a heron in the afternoon, both flying. In the twilight, the egrets gathered with cormorants on the lake again.
