The mockingbird was smart to arrive early to get some suet. It wasn't long before the male pileated woodpecker showed up. During lunch we saw some baby skinks running around. An orange butterfly investigated flowers but was gone before my hands were free. I couldn't be certain whether it was a monarch or something else. I also saw a cabbage white.
Before the day was done, the starlings, the mockingbird, and the pileated woodpeckers together finished off the suet except for all the crumbs they dropped. The female pileated tried to make a meal of them.
