Overnight was as cold as predicted but less windy. I poured hot water into the birdbath twice and each time it refroze. But while it was still fluid, it was popular with the songbirds. The creek didn't freeze on account of the wind agitating the surface, I think.
A female towhee came to eat the seeds I scattered. So did a flock of cowbirds and red winged blackbirds along with one starling. A crow flew to the post and scolded till the left. There weren't many seeds left for the sparrows and juncos.
A female red bellied woodpecker took the suet away from the downy. Bluebirds and warblers alternated between suet and barkbutter balls. Even the nuthatches took turns on the suet. The Carolina wrens ate some of everything.
