A gray overcast reduced the light and blurred many pictures. The male red bellied woodpecker took a turn at the suet. I wonder if they are incubating eggs already? A pine warbler refused to budge for the much bigger bird, but a female oriole decided it was time to move over to the barkbutter balls. She came back for suet when the woodpecker was full, but then the aggressive mockingbird flew in like a missile and scattered all the other birds. Then it got in a fight with another mockingbird. Blue jays stuck to barkbutter balls, as did a brown thrasher. Several white throats foraged. The butterbutt was visible. The cat was back.
A great blue heron faced the wind perched on a dead snag over the lake but I didn't see any other lake denizens. Cormorants and pelicans fished on the creek but I saw no ducks. I spent too much time on computers again.
