We began with ice then rose into the 50s. I even saw midges or something flying around. The sky was a glorious, bright blue. The male pine warbler got up early to eat suet in peace. Then a couple of starlings arrived and ate suet like barbarians.
An egret fished under the dam. A hoodie pair preened on the gently rippled water. Gulls monitored the creek from above. A heron stood on a dock post. And I spotted an eagle soaring very high. A row of turtles basked on their favorite log.
The downy woodpeckers eventually arrived, followed by a female red bellied woodpecker. Later on she checked out different spots on the oak trunk.
A blue jay pretended it wasn't interested in bark butter balls. When it thought it was unobserved, it stuffed its beak full like a row of peas in their pod. Then a white throat checked to see if anything had fallen out.
