There was frost on the ground and ice in the creek. The birdbath was a solid lump. There was some sunshine at first but the day quickly became overcast. The ice was soon gone and pelicans fished on the creek. Blue jays quickly emptied the bark butter balls. A yellow rumped warbler stared accusingly at us. I did refill the cup later.
An early song sparrow looked for breakfast in the frost. The white throats came later. K refilled the seed feeder and kindly left some seeds on the patio for squirrels. That seemed to lure them to the feeder to attempt to get more. The feeder won.
Two female orioles focused on suet. So did the mockingbird and a a female red bellied woodpecker. And the kinglet returned for more. Pine and yellow rumped warblers tried to drive the larger birds off the suet cage. The male downy just hopped onboard with an oriole. Bluebirds were late to the party but they got a share of the suet.
