Still chilly

The wind wasn't as strong but there was very little sun.  A yellow iris joined the blue.   A brown headed nuthatch worked on the suet before taking a seed home.  The male red bellied woodpecker carried off a beak-full.  

A crow picked something out of a red cedar, maybe oak blossoms for nest lining. The bird was very intent on getting whatever it was. 

Bluebirds ate suet and everything else.  A blue jay and a mockingbird also got some suet.  The female red bellied woodpecker eventually came for some suet.  An army of five starlings fought over the suet.  I glimpsed a yellow colored warbler, probably a pine warbler on the suet before it spooked.  Titmice and all the regulars were back for seeds. 

I rescued a rafting beetle.  A drowned crab spider rested on the bottom pool step.
