I was mostly busy, but for once the birds showed up when I looked for them. At least three white throated sparrows foraged for breakfast. The one with the sore eyes seemed healed, but unattractive. Carolina wrens went straight for suet but then checked everything else. The mockingbird, of course, took over the suet.
A red breasted nuthatch was thirsty as well as hungry. Warblers continued their dominance struggles. Downy woodpeckers finally got a turn at the suet. The orioles were in no hurry for breakfast. The female red bellied woodpecker interrupted the orioles. A warbler sneaked in and got told off.
It was too warm for pelicans but there was plenty of other waterbird action. A pied bill grebe was hanging out with two pairs of hooded mergansers. Turtles were out on their log. A kingfisher landed on the dock by the dam, then flew off up the lake. A great blue heron wrestled with a sizeable fish that tried its best to avoid fate.
For some weird reason, Google won't let me add photos.
