It was warm and sunny but the wind was harsh. I spent time outside after lunch. A pair of buffleheads dived for their lunch. A great black back gull pecked at a floating, presumably dead, fish. This attracted a pelican but I guess the fish was too far gone for its taste. At least seven turtles basked on the lake logs. The juvenile eagle flew circles overhead until the crows caught up.
A female red bellied woodpecker hitched around the trunk of the oak, probably hoping I would go away. A male yellow bellied sapsucker tried to get nourishment from the oak. Blue jays sneaked past me as though I was guarding the barkbutter balls. Starlings watched me but stayed away from the suet. I saw bluebirds and warblers up in the trees but they didn't venture close. Then I had to go in and start Zooming.
