Day errandry

Another sunny, chilly Spring day full of birds.  Also too full of running around town and other distractions.  The male red bellied woodpecker started the day.  I didn't have to wait long for starlings.  Or mockingbirds.  The mockingbird attacked a starling but was not able to dislodge it from the suet.  Geese went out on the pool cover for a drink. 

A brown headed nuthatch sampled the suet.  A brown thrasher seized a barkbutter ball.  A yellow rumped warbler hunted suet crumbs.  The mockingbird decided to make do with barkbutter balls.  I saw a brown headed nuthatch dive-bomb a bigger chickadee and actually drive it off the seed feeder briefly.  And I saw bluebirds hanging around the birdhouse but naturally did not have the camera.  When I had the camera, no bluebirds. Toward evening the cat settled in to watch the bird feeders.
