Morning overcast helped my photography. The pileated woodpeckers have become regulars. And they emptied the suet feeder. The bluebirds squabbled a bit over the barkbutter. But the bad little butterbutt kept driving away the birds I wanted to photograph. A brown headed nuthatch dropped down to the birdbath to get away. A red bellied woodpecker spooked but later the male returned.
Juncos joined the sparrows again. A brown thrasher craved barkbutter. I'm going to have to go buy some more. A starling went after the suet, but I have plenty of that. A mockingbird poked around but didn't find whatever it was looking for.
The creek was rough. I saw a few pelicans and diving ducks, an egret or two, and a great blue heron. The camera caught a wood duck drake and I didn't even realize it. Turtles came out of the water to bask. A couple of red-winged blackbirds explored the exposed creek bottom at low tide.
