A downy woodpecker got to the suet early. White throated sparrows wasted no time either. The creek surface was smooth in spots and ruffled in others making me suspect underwater activity. Buffleheads appeared to agree. Then hooded mergansers showed up.
The wind picked up by mid day. The masked yellow rumped warbler got its fill of suet. House finches joined the Carolina wrens and sparrows in the mulch while a titmouse attacked the suet. The wrens got their share of suet. A brown thrasher sat on the barkbutter cup as though waiting for it to magically refill. I never did get around to opening a fresh bag.
The immature eagle circled over the creek, then landed in an oak on the other side. Curiously, the crows didn't notice. A song sparrow showed up in the afternoon. Something alarmed it into raising its head feathers into a short crest. I don't think it was the eagle.
