I'm beginning the tenth year of recording my observations of nature, mostly in the back yard. And this morning was exciting with a male and two female Baltimore orioles. Pine and myrtle warblers also came to feed on bark butter and camellia flowers. They all wanted suet too but the downy and red bellied woodpeckers weren't sharing. House finches and chickadees stayed with seeds and I didn't see any ground foragers. A bufflehead drake fished up and down the creek.
In the afternoon I finally saw white throated sparrows and Carolina wrens. And that brought the cat. Mallards were feeding on the creek and among them was a female bufflehead looking quite brown in the late afternoon sun. The wind was chilly and the temperature closer to what we expect this time of year.
