The tree is gone

Finally a male downy joined the female in consuming the suet.   However, a white breasted nuthatch harbored suet ambitions.  A tawny, long-haired cat watched the feeders till it saw me.  It was quite leonine.  A nervous bluebird snatched a barkbutter ball and fled.  A molting goldfinch appeared to have fleece pantaloons. 

The tree removal was remarkably quick considering how long we waited to have it done.  And no sooner was it finished than the rain began.  Juncos and sparrows hunted in the mulch.  A Carolina wren hung underneath the suet, making an umbrella of dinner.  Pine and myrtle warblers quarreled with each other but had no luck dislodging the wren.
