Still warm

A downy woodpecker tucked into the suet.  A blue jay had something round it didn't seem to know what to do with.  Another blue jay poked around the birdbath. 

I think i saw an eagle but didn't get a clear photo.  A flock of shovelers churned up the lake water.  Turtles basked on logs, but without sunshine.  Down on the creek, a small flock of hoodies relaxed.   There were pelicans, but I was never in the right place. 

A flicker was well camouflaged except for a brief visit to the ground.  Myrtle warblers had aerial battles over access to feeders.  Titmice and nuthatches slipped by them. 

When i went out for an errand, I saw a whole flock of starlings splashing in a puddle outside a "spa."  The sky cleared toward sunset, but the temperature dropped.
