I got really frustrated with the camera's insistence on focusing on anything but the subject. I missed a red breasted nuthatch, a mockingbird, pelicans, and I forget what else. Other than that, it was a very lovely Easter, warm and sunny. The pileated woodpecker visited during breakfast, but the camera focused on the dogwood in the background. A red bellied woodpecker followed, and a downy after that. I did get a photo of the rear end of something on the seed feeder, maybe the brown headed nuthatch.
Crows were still hanging around. The brown thrashers found the new location of the barkbutter balls. The Carolina wrens divvied up the feeders. Pine and yellow rumped warblers stayed with the suet.
Squirrels were in love, wrestling and play chasing between the cedar and the dogwood. Occasionally one would get the munchies and stop for a snack.
A great blue heron stalked along the bulkhead. A great egret hunted below the dam until a heron usurped its fishing hole. An osprey circled overhead. Crows investigated something in the dam spillway. The spartina was sprouting along the shore. I pulled out a lot of leucojum but there was plenty more.
