Overnight freeze

At breakfast, I saw an osprey in the pines across the creek. The water in the birdbath was frozen which annoyed a white throat. 

The myrtle warbler with no yellow along its wings was up early to eat bark butter.  About twenty minutes later the one with lots of yellow took over.  A Carolina wren went for the suet.  I put out jelly for the oriole but a squirrel found it. 

It was nearly lunch time when the downy woodpeckers arrived. Titmice appeared around the same time and so did pine warblers. 

The brown pelican plunged for a fish.  A crow made off with a treat and the others chased after it.  The wood duck drake, or another, was back on the lake.  A bufflehead dived its way downstream to where an egret fished in the late afternoon sun.
