All the orioles came for breakfast. Of course, all of them didn't fit on the suet. Then a starling showed up and the other birds gave up. White throats foraged as usual. A Carolina wren tried some of everything. The mockingbird wanted suet. So did its cousin, the brown thrasher. Downy and red bellied woodpeckers didn't consider anything else. A couple of yellow rumped warblers also got some suet.
The rain tapered off in the afternoon. Several bluebirds, including at least two males, struggled with the suet. A blue jay watched from the hackberry tree. There were plenty of pelicans but I didn't have any luck with the camera. I saw geese and mallards but no other ducks. A great blue heron landed on the dock while another stood below the dam.
