Up early again

I didn't really see anything till I was returning.  A flock of robins poked through the winter brown grass at VA Wesleyan.  But at home after lunch, the feeder crowd got lively. The female red bellied woodpecker took over the suet.  A blue jay wanted bark butter balls.  Juncos foraged under the suet with white throated sparrows .  Titmice tried a bit of everything. 

The myrtle warbler did its best to guard the suet but it was no match for a downy woodpecker.  A female oriole came for suet but settled for bark butter.  Carolina wrens took bark butter balls under the grill to consume in peace. 

The gray creek reflected the gray sky and the cold wind roughened the water.  The temperature was on a day-long downward slide.
