Gray and wet

The temperature dropped back to a more normal range.  All day, I kept having a problem that the camera wanted to photograph the background instead of the bird.  The brown thrasher had another go at the suet.  Then the red bellied female took over.  The downy woodpeckers weren't far behind.

I saw a pair of wood ducks splash down and paddle swiftly upstream out of sight. 

Bluebirds paid several visits to the bark butter balls.  A titmouse had the same idea.   The male bluebird also tried the suet.  Then a female oriole decided she wanted some suet.  A blue jay replaced the bluebirds.  The oriole had a staring contest with the red bellied woodpecker. 

A Carolina wren foraged under the seed feeder along with white throated sparrows.  A male pine warbler found a moment alone with the suet.  A lot of flitting around in the foliage made me think there were more warblers.
