Blue jays were breakfasting almost before I was. A brown headed nuthatch was another early riser. Warblers came right behind with the pine warbler on the lower dish and the yellow rump on the upper. A bluebird took possession of the upper dish, evicting the yellow rumped warbler. It poked around the portulaca stalks, which had not yet perished from frost. Anther paler pine warbler landed on the suet but was dislodged by the red bellied woodpecker.
Nothing was happening at lunch time so fast forward to dusk. The tide was very low, not surprising since we're just past full moon with wind from the Southwest. Songbirds and waterbirds flew to their roosts. However, I believe the pelicans flying up and down the creek were fishing.
