A little flock of cedar waxwings landed in the trees before the sun was up so unfortunately they were back-lighted by the sky. They were very round, not sleek, so they must have been cold. And then just before they would have been properly sunlit, they all flew away.
The pileated pair came back for more suet. A blue jay was unimpressed with the bill of fare. Two brown thrashers were in sight at the same time. With species where the sexes look the same, it's much harder to figure out whether I'm always seeing the same bird. Bluebirds, warblers, Carolina wrens, a mockingbird, white throated sparrows and titmice also visited.
Pelicans were hard at work patrolling the creek. A wood duck pair paddled downstream. It must be time for them to look for a nest site.
