Cloudy

A blue jay posed today which was especially helpful since the sun wasn't confusing the camera.  Warblers followed, pine and myrtle.  (Myrtle is the name for the Eastern subgroup of yellow rumped warblers. West of the Appalachians they have yellow throats and are called Audubon's.)  Two Carolina wrens checked out the food. 

Buffleheads and hoodies were fishing on the creek.  So were pelicans but trees kept jumping in front of them.  A great blue heron kept watch on its stretch of the creek.  The day got warm enough to lure a turtle out.  I noticed that cormorants had painted a dead snag to look like a big white feather. 

White throated sparrows foraged on the steps for suet crumbs.  I know I saw a brown thrasher at some point in the day.  A song sparrow performed on a dogwood branch.  The blasted cat was back, birdwatching.
