A song sparrow scurried around the mulch. The creek had a matte finish thanks to a skin of ice. A female oriole was eager for suet though there was little left. Both red breasted and white breasted nuthatches wanted sunflower seeds. The aggressive yellow rumped warbler and pine warblers soon joined the crowd.
I spotted a lone red-winged blackbird in the redwood just before it flew away. The Carolina wrens explored the sunflower seeds, the mulch, and of course the suet. White throated sparrows slept in but eventually appeared. A bright sun raised the temperature to 58
° by afternoon. I finally installed a fresh block of suet in the, by then empty, suet cage.
