Though sunny, it felt a lot colder. Herons and egrets fished all day. A flotilla of pelicans passed during my meeting. I saw them reflected on the computer screen and was very tempted to abandon my responsibility. Cormorants and buffleheads joined the fishing.
A downy worked on the suet. A male and two or three female orioles ate up two helpings of grape jelly. Myrtle warblers had a taste for jelly too. I noticed that when one butterbutt wants to intimidate another, it elevates its tail like a wren, which displays that yellow rump. Pine warblers and bluebirds were around too. A brown headed nuthatch took advantage of an opening on the seed feeder perch. A molting blue jay visited the barkbutter.
A starling came for barkbutter balls and brought a red-winged blackbird who enjoyed the birdbath. K kindly leveled the relocated birdbath and arranged a bag-full of pine-bark nuggets around it. I am so glad to have the liriope gone! Two doves inspected the new mulch. A flicker rested on a dogwood branch. A mockingbird was too wary to get much to eat. A junco investigated the jelly but didn't find it appealing. A Carolina wren hunted for bits I'd spilled.
