Woodpeckers

Early morning was wet from yesterday's rain and it was still cloudy.   The pileated woodpecker pair returned.  The creek was placid and a plethora of pelicans fished - I saw six at one time.  Hooded mergansers and cormorants joined the fishing at low tide. 

A Carolina wren pecked suet when the pileated woodpecker left.  Brown headed nuthatches came frequently for more seeds.  I saw both male and female red bellied woodpeckers.  Bluebirds loitered around the feeders.  Starlings paid a brief visit.  In the afternoon, I saw a brown thrasher.  

The sun finally reached the edge of the overcast and made a spectacular sunset.  Orange bars of cloud spread color all across the sky.  The hoodies were back floating on the reflected sunset.
