Hungry birds

I saw several pelicans flying over the creek but didn't see any dive for a fish.  Buffleheads were out early.  And one turned out to be a female hoodie! 

A pair of downy woodpeckers alternated on the suet.  Nuthatches were pleased with the fresh sunflower seeds.  Titmice were too.  A titmouse, a nuthatch, and a pine warbler all arrived at once but they made each other nervous. 

A great blue heron perched on one of the snags in the lake to preen.  A mallard drake floated under the dam. 

The sky was clear all day and into the night.  The crescent moon disappeared before I got home, but I could see lots of stars.
