At breakfast, K called my attention to a pair of wood ducks wandering around the patio like prospective home buyers. Apparently we didn't suit. Later the cat visited and all the feeder birds left. The day was sunny and breezy and a seasonably Spring temperature.
I didn't see anything else till late afternoon. A male bluebird posed in the slanting sunlight but by the time the camera was ready, he left. Downy and red bellied woodpeckers worked on the suet. Blue jays teased but I won and got photos of the blue jay that went after suet. It was a messy eater and dropped bits which it then pecked up from the ground.
A great blue heron was spotlighted by the sun though it was behind a saltbush. Turtles were out sunning on their log at 6pm, supervised by another heron.
