Pintail drake

The sky was gray in the morning.  Buffleheads kept their distance.  A pintail drake consorted with a flock of mallards.  Vegetation got in the way of photos until the pintail began to preen. 

A brown headed nuthatch pretended to be invisible on the seed feeder.  A female oriole got some jelly but another went for the barkbutter balls.  Male and female bluebirds had the same idea.  A pine warbler wanted his share.  Of course a starling had to be greedy.  A myrtle warbler seemed more interested in suet.  Two female orioles argued over the jelly.  

Then I left for Richmond.  The navigation system directed me on a route through Black history memorials like Lumpkin's Jail.
