Morning was wet and dreary but the sky cleared before lunch. White throated sparrows hoped for more fallen seeds. Yellow rumped warblers did not like having to reach for what was left of the suet. Neither did the mockingbird. Downy woodpeckers just kept eating suet. A brown thrasher hunted for suet crumbs on the steps. The pair of Carolina wrens got away without a single picture.
A great blue heron fished beside the dam and a few hooded mergansers fished along the bulkhead. I spied a shoveler drake up on the lake. One hardy turtle was out catching some rays despite the temperature. A speedy little female bufflehead paddled past the dabbling mallards. They were using their feet to stir the water, which is something the shovelers do.
