The cat was around for a while in the morning but the birds did not seem nearly as worried as when a hawk is in the vicinity. They came back to the feeders while it was still in sight. A couple of blue jays got into the bark butter. The feisty myrtle reclaimed the bark butter as soon as the blue jays left.
The female downy woodpecker was convinced the male was taking too long at the suet. He tried to ignore her so she hopped on with him. His red feathers stood on end but she persisted. A nuthatch took its seed to the dogwood to hammer open. Unfortunately its favorite spot puts twigs and buds in the way of a photo.
An early queen yellow jacket scouted sites for a nest. A very dark myrtle warbler showed up. I wondered if it was a different species till its yellow rump flashed. And I got a very poor photo of two squirrels kissing.
The moon was very bright but it was not quite above the trees and I didn't want to hang around.
