A myrtle warbler scraped the sides of the empty bark butter dish. Nuthatches found plenty of seeds in the feeder. Downy woodpeckers had plenty of suet. White throats seemed to find enough fallen food.
A pelican floated around on the creek which was rather choppy. Buffleheads and hoodies took to the water in the afternoon. One bufflehead was very rusty on the breast making me hesitant about identification. But it was with two females and a drake. It may be a first year drake.
Turtles basked on the lake logs. A female junco slaked her thirst on the pool cover. Clouds built up and I thought it would rain. Instead the temperature finally began to drop from a record high. I stood up and startled a kingfisher I hadn't noticed.
