Bald birds

The morning sun was reflected by the creek.  I saw the first morning glory blossom and the hibiscus was still blooming.  A male hummer got a drink.  A female looked very much the worse for wear. 

A bald blue jay visited the barkbutter balls.  The white breasted nuthatch came for sunflower seeds.  A female cardinal was also going bald and in a very bad mood.  She would not share the seed feeder perch with any other bird. The nuthatch must have been watching closely because it slipped in whenever she left.  

The red bellied woodpecker was too shy to get anything to eat.  Dogwood berries were nearly ripe and the hackberry berries were more abundant than in other years. A mockingbird picked hackberries.  I got caught up in some work and never made it outside.
