Just like yesterday, the mockingbird was up first but nothing was satisfactory. One or more brown headed nuthatches soon followed, eating both suet and seeds. The male red bellied woodpecker tackled the suet. It was just out of reach from the post so the woodpecker had to cling to the cage to eat.
Bluebirds let me know they expected better than soggy barkbutter. So I put out fresh food. Then a squirrel dithered about whether to climb the post and the birds all departed. The squirrel had a piece of its left ear missing, so it will be identifiable.
Blue jays got some barkbutter but I didn't get photos. The female pileated woodpecker returned. So did the flood waters. It was hard to see past the construction equipment across the creek, but turtles were out basking. A yellow crowned night heron perched on the fence.
