The birds were not in a sharing mood. Bluebirds squabbled. Warblers chased each other all around the yard. Starlings displaced all the others, even a red bellied woodpecker. A Carolina wren tried to stay out of trouble and get a meal. So did a downy woodpecker. A brown headed nuthatch managed to get a seed.
Blue jays noticed I put out barkbutter balls today.They only want food they can carry away. A mockingbird had some difficulty with the feeder. A goldfinch showed up and got a drink. Eventually the brown thrasher arrived. It hammered the barkbutter as thought it was frozen.
On intrepid turtle was out on the communal log. Lots of pelicans came to fish. Cormorants and hoodies joined in. I even saw a pied bill grebe. A squirrel ran through the yard with a mouthfull of leaves.
