Spring-like

It was very balmy today.  Bluebirds cleaned up the barkbutter.  The warblers helped though they also ate suet.  Two male orioles showed up but one sent the other away.  Two females also came, one dark orange, the other paler yellow.  They waited for the male to finish.  Meanwhile the cat lurked on the chair on the lower patio.  

Brown headed nuthatches were abundant.  One intimidated a house finch.   A song sparrow erected its crest.  A female oriole joined the downy on the block of suet.  I got the birdbath re-positioned.  Turtles were out on their log enjoying the warm day.  After dark I saw a lacewing on the window.
