Pelicans

It looked like there was rain overnight.  The two Carolina wrens were very hungry at breakfast.  They shared suet with each other and with the female downy woodpecker.  The brown thrasher thrashed the leaf litter under an azalea bush.  A white throated sparrow checked out the bark butter balls. The myrtle warbler was late.  In the afternoon, a red bellied woodpecker visited. Then the cat came back. 

I saw one egret below the dam. After breakfast, at least two pelicans plunged after fish right off our shoreline.  Several cormorants were fishing there too.  A flock of gulls spun in circles as though they rode an invisible tornado.
