The sun shone on low tide at breakfast. A butterbutt bandito arrived early at the suet which was almost gone. The masked yellow rumped warbler moved on to the mealworms. A pine warbler went for the barkbutter balls and then the mealworms. The downy worked on the suet nubbin.
Clouds thickened and held the temperature below 60. The dog and I sat outside but I had to move around to stay warm. After lunch, I put out a fresh block of suet during a shower that was not in the weather forecast. Bluebirds and orioles joined the warblers. I saw a chipping sparrow in the trees. A mockingbird arrived during the rain but the orioles harassed it. A Carolina wren foraged under the barkbutter dish while three female orioles fussed at it to stay away from their jelly. Both brown headed and white breasted nuthatches came for seeds. Juncos finally showed up. So did a starling.
Buffleheads and hoodies paddled around the creek. I think a hawk flew away. An egret flew over but vegetation confused the camera.
