90° Fahrenheit

A very hot day.  I refused to refill the suet cages till sundown.  The package says "no melt" but the contents were soft.  Meanwhile, birds kept checking just in case I'd relented. A brown thrasher managed to get by on crumbs and barkbutter powder.  A cardinal tried some, or maybe he was looking for a present for his lady love?  Starlings just gave up.  The bluebirds couldn't afford to be picky with a family to feed.  The male pileated woodpecker hunted all over the post as though the suet might be hiding.  He ate some crumbs then gave me a piece of his mind.  When I finally did refill the feeders, a couple of geese honked as they floated away.
