The sun shone all day while small clouds flowed rapidly East. It didn't seem windy at ground level though it was colder. Pelicans continued to fish but the other birds were fewer and less frequent so I think that the fish they were after must have dispersed. (I was wrong!) A few buffleheads paddled after the bigger birds.
I paid more attention to the song and feeder birds. Woodpeckers stayed fairly distant. I saw a red bellied woodpecker hiking up a pine trunk. A flicker preened on the hackberry trunk. I think the downy finished off the suet. Three red winged blackbirds and a female cowbird foraged under the seed feeder. And a male oriole enjoyed some jelly.
Bluebirds, warblers, a Carolina wren, brown headed nuthatches, and a mockingbird visited feeders while juncos, white throated sparrows, and a song sparrow hunted on the ground. Of course the cardinals, house finches, chickadees, and titmice come every day.
