Clearing

The morning was gray with orange birds.  Low light defeated me again, especially as the birds were in motion.  The orioles and the downy and the warblers all wanted suet.  Both pine and orange crowned warblers joined the dance around the suet.  Carolina wrens were late to the party.  Even a titmouse got some suet. 

A goldfinch couldn't find anything it wanted. On the ground, a white throated sparrow poked through the mulch.  The song sparrow went for bits the suet lovers dropped.  The feral cat was attracted by  the birds on the ground but they got away. 

The creek was placid all day but I didn't see any ducks.  In the afternoon, the clouds parted and the sunshine pulled turtles out of the water and onto their favorite log.
