Heavy, dark clouds that looked full of snow slid across the sky without dropping a thing. A Carolina wren was up early looking for breakfast. It mooned me repeatedly while working on the barkbutter. An egret landed in a tree across the creek but was visible through a "window" between branches on my side of the creek. The warblers arrived for fresh suet.
Bluebirds got interested in the barkbutter too, and even in seeds. I witnessed an aerial fight between a cardinal and a smaller bluebird. There was plenty of food and they don't really share the same tastes, so I don;t know what made the smaller bird so angry. There were other instances of shoving and diving at a perched bird. Strange.
White throated sparrows foraged alongside pine and yellow rumped warblers. Even the wren poked through the mulch. The yellow rumped warblers were bolder today about getting a turn at the suet.
After dark the crescent moon was just past the peak of its transit across the sky.
