There was a glorious sunrise before the overcast moved in. The temperature and the humidity were high. Heavy dew coated the railing and the chairs. The pair of Carolina wrens were first up but they didn't stay long. A great blue heron flew past. By 9am I could feel the mist on my skin.
A bufflehead drake floated on a mirror of water. A pine warbler was chased off the suet by a downy woodpecker but he came back and insisted on sharing. A song sparrow foraged for breakfast. A titmouse joined the seed eaters. Then the cat showed up.
When we got home around 4pm, the male red bellied woodpecker came for suet. I didn't see anything else before the light failed, possibly because the cat was lurking.
