Spring

Blue jays flocked to the barkbutter balls on a bright, mild morning.  A Carolina wren devoured suet. Its partner foraged on the steps and the mulch.  So did a myrtle warbler and a bluebird.  

I saw the female pileated woodpecker that came for suet.  A starling tried to insinuate itself onto the feeder, but the woodpecker refused.  Eventually, she got so annoyed, she chased the other bird away.  Later, a red bellied woodpecker flew off when I tried to take his picture. 

The "fried egg" daffodils began blooming.  Some of the dogwood flowers look like little boxes before they fully open.  Violets have been blooming for several days. 

Turtles basked in the sunshine.  A pied bill grebe paddled on the creek.
