Titmice were hungry enough to come to the seed feeder. A blue jay was up in the redwood. A white throated sparrow needed a drink. I finally caught a downy woodpecker in mid-leap from post to suet. And yes, it was a leap - "look, no wings!
A male red bellied woodpecker eluded me until it landed on a thin, whippy redwood twig. Another red belly was in the tree but I couldn't see much of it. I don't know if the resident red bellied woodpecker found a girlfriend or a rival. A very greenish pine warbler showed up for bark butter. A nuthatch mooned me on the feeder perch. A goldfinch got a drink from the pool puddle. A blue jay also liked the bark butter. A different myrtle warbler appeared on the bark butter dish.
An egret stalked downstream while buffleheads bobbed in the water under the dam. A male wood duck was snoozing on the edge of the dock, apparently without a care in the world. The creek sparkles under passing clouds. Just one turtle crawled up on a log. The moon looked big in the afternoon sky.
