Drizzle

The gray sky and chilly air continued to make the birds hungry enough to fight the wind.  And the wind was not quite so fierce nor the tide quite so high today.  But a drizzle set in around 2:30 in the afternoon.  A white breasted nuthatch tried to get a meal but bigger birds kept pushing it aside.  The red bellied woodpecker got the same treatment from the pileated.  Meanwhile the brown headed nuthatch had no problem getting its fill.  Two brown thrashers, a mockingbird, bluebirds, and a myrtle warbler visited but I did not refill the barkbutter feeder on account of the rain prediction.  I planted a coral lily that i had pulled up with its bulb attached.
