Eventually the fog dissipated into overcast. Blue jays didn't wait to dig into the barkbutter balls. A Carolina wren wanted one as well. The wrens disappeared for a couple of weeks so I was glad to see this one. Even a titmouse got into the balls. And of course red bellied woodpeckers made sure to get their share. Two male bluebirds wrestled in the mulch till one fled.
A great blue heron perched on a piling to watch the passing scene. Another heron kept watch over the turtles on the lake. I spotted a mallard drake in both scenes. Three female hooded mergansers left wakes as they paddled across the creek. Pelicans kept finding fish in between the next two docks where my view was obstructed. A cormorant dried out on the neighbors' floating dock.
The female pileated woodpecker came for a suet lunch. White throats scuttled about picking up crumbs. A couple of blue jays might have been courting in the hackberry. A mockingbird snacked on the suet. A bluebird disapproved of a visit by the feral cat. The cat retreated to the far side of the pool cover.
