Still cold

The orange crowned warbler was up early.   There wasn't much suet left.  A Carolina wren poked around in the mulch.  The male downy was too much for a smaller bird on the suet.  I think it was the kinglet but it was on the far side of the suet so I don't know for sure.  Then the downy lost out to the red belly.  The orange crowned warbler returned and shared with the red belly, briefly. 

Two doves pecked through the ice on the birdbath.  The two downy woodpeckers landed on the post at the same time and had to settle whose turn it was.  I noticed it's always the male's turn first.  A white throated sparrow foraged with the song sparrow.  The creek was choppy. 

In the afternoon, a pine warbler visited the suet.
