At breakfast there was a skin of ice on the creek. A Carolina wren was hungry. The yellow streaked butterbutt was fierce in defense of its food. At one point, it chased off a chickadee. White throats ignored the goings on overhead. The downy woodpecker was focused on the suet and too big for the warbler to chase. And the warbler did not bother the wren. Other birds also flew at competitors. I think the chill must have worried them about their food supply. I put jelly out for the oriole but never saw it. A little brown waterfowl paddled upstream faster than I could get the camera in focus. I think it was the pied bill grebe.
