A grebe-ous day!

White throats were busy breakfasting.   Then crows showed why we can't have nice things.  They ate all the jelly and stole the bark butter tub, dumping the dish and hanger on the ground.  Juncos stayed in the trees.  But blue jays came to investigate.  Warblers still had their suet.  Downy woodpeckers insisted it was their suet.  

I saw a pied-billed grebe on the creek.  it posed very nicely, showing its size relative to a mallard and even lifting a foot out of the water for proof.  The mallards were feeling amorous, at least the drakes were.  A great blue heron waited beside the dam.  Cormorants swam around and looked a bit like the grebe from the back. 

Indoors, I noticed there was spiderweb around the house plants.  I didn't see any spiders, or any prey either.
