Ice in the birdbath and frost on the mulch. A pine and a myrtle warbler shared suet. A Carolina wren also wanted suet. White throats enjoyed the variety of Christmas seeds. The male Baltimore oriole wanted jelly. A blue jay paused long enough for a picture. A heron landed across the creek, behind vegetation.
A female oriole showed up in the afternoon. Wrens and sparrows hung around and one sparrow even bathed, right in front of a squirrel. A titmouse wanted to know what the fuss was about. Nuthatches just wanted seeds. The female oriole drank some water while a wren watched. The male took the opportunity to eat some more jelly. The downy woodpecker finally got a turn at the suet.
I went elsewhere for a half hour and when I got back, a crow was prowling around and the entire plastic tub that held the bark butter, and jelly, was gone. I put out the other one and this time fastened it to the glass dish with rubber bands. That should keep it from being carried off.
