Still overcast

Frost coated the mulch and melted off the bird feeder.  Ice only covered half the creek.  A downy woodpecker was up bright and early.  A pine warbler followed on the suet.  Then a bluebird dropped in but apparently did not think the suet was edible.  The male red bellied woodpecker was back. Vapor rose off the creek.  

While there had been some sunshine early, the sky clouded over again.  After church, K sawed down two redwood limbs that had been intruding in my view and confusing the camera focus.  A Carolina wren looked for a bark butter ball.  A pine warbler went for the tub of bark butter, perhaps because the downy woodpecker was on the suet. There were buffleheads on the creek.
