Rain fell during most of the daylight hours, beginning after breakfast. But before that, I got a lot of pictures, starting with the female pileated woodpecker. A white breasted nuthatch was driven off by that pest of a myrtle warbler. Starlings and blackbirds came and went quickly. Bluebirds, thankfully, weren't so flighty.
White throated sparrows and juncos stayed on the ground. Carolina wrens seemed to be everywhere. A brown headed nuthatch slipped in for a seed. When I put out the very last tub of barkbutter, a brown thrasher was first in line. A pine warbler got a bit of suet. House finches had a tender moment. A mockingbird struggled to reach the suet. Goldfinches watched from the dogwood.
The camellia was still blooming, proof it has been a mild winter. I got a glimpse of a female towhee. A downy and a red belled woodpecker, both female, each had a turn at the suet.
