Still blowing

I saw a few hoodies on the creek before the water got too high.  I've noticed they like low tide that makes it easier to trap fish.  The light was poor and rain fell earlier than predicted.  The downy woodpeckers again competed for suet.   The male got the first turn, but the female insisted it be short. 

Eyebrows were in fashion as white throated sparrows and a Carolina wren foraged.  Chickadees and cardinals kept to the sunflower seeds. 

After lunch, the song sparrow joined the foragers.  It too has eyebrows. 

A pine warbler and a Carolina wren took opposite sides of the suet.  I can't figure out why the downy pair don't do that.  Soon the dark day slipped into an early night
