When I poured hot water into the birdbath, it practically froze on contact. The wind was the reason the creek wasn't frozen too. I saw a couple of hoodies on the water. Later there were buffleheads. The "king tide" had already peaked. Bright sunshine lasted all day. The afternoon low tide was very low because the wind helped the tide.
A downy woodpecker was up early to enjoy some undisturbed time with the suet. White throats were out and about. A myrtle warbler pecked at the ice in the birdbath. I put out some jelly and saw one female oriole. A red breasted nuthatch nearly eluded me as did a Carolina wren.
