Birds and clouds

At first the light was a problem.  Bluebirds and blue jays were blurred.  Finally a female oriole held still for a moment.  The female red bellied woodpecker was visible on the pine trunk.  A Carolina wren sat at the seed feeder tossing whatever it didn't fancy.  Its partner visited the other food sources.  Meanwhile, a red breasted nuthatch popped onto the feeder perch.  And the wren no sooner turned than a brown headed nuthatch materialized in the same spot, like a magic trick.  

Then the male oriole showed up for suet and I hardly knew where to point the lens next.  A mockingbird puffed itself up but the oriole was not impressed.  White throated sparrows and juncos stayed on the ground.  The sparrows kept trying to get past a squirrel but it apparently had learned that this was "Squirrel Appreciation Day."  A downy woodpecker finally got a turn at the suet.  Pine and yellow rumped warblers snatched what they could.  A great blue heron took up residence on a dock post.  And all this was at breakfast because I never had another moment.
