Oriole!

Morning was frosty.  Downy woodpeckers were too hungry to wait for the day to warm up.   Soon a pine warbler appeared.  Then a Carolina wren. 

In the afternoon, at least four pine warblers argued over the suet.  A male oriole popped up a couple of times during lunch.  Eventually I got outside with a spoonful of grape jelly.  A pair of  juncos foraged in the mulch.  They were joined by a myrtle warbler. 

A male red bellied woodpecker scouted for grubs in the trees that surround the pool.  In the evening the white throated sparrows hunted fallen seeds.  A glorious moon was just a couple of days short of full.  Cormorants flew every which way home.
