Chipping sparrow

The wind finally weakened somewhat and the creek wasn't so rough.  However, it was chilly.  Starlings showed up so frequently I assume they moved in.  This annoyed the bluebirds.  A male red bellied woodpecker followed a starling on the suet.  A myrtle warbler tried to get a turn.  

At lunch, a chipping sparrow got into a squabble with another bird.  I didn't see the second bird till they were flying around the yard so I don't know what it was.  A junco got a drink and a brown headed nuthatch got a seed.  A female red bellied woodpecker fed on the suet, again following a starling.  One starling discovered the barkbutter balls.  A mockingbird also helped itself to barkbutter balls.  

I photographed a midge on the window and tried to photograph a mosquito.  Pelicans and the white gulls came back for more fish.
