Despite the temperature and the lack of wind, a pelican fished on the creek. A little flock of buffleheads roamed the creek, paddling and diving. A lone hoodie drake joined them. Several egrets hung around and disputed territorial claims. The kingfisher waited atop a post for a fins to swim into range. A mid day rain fell earlier than expected and caught the yard crew.
Pine warblers were disappointed that I only opened one dish of bark butterballs. A downy booted one warbler off the suet. White throats, a song sparrow, and juncos found plenty to eat on the ground. Nuthatches, both brown headed and white breasted, cane for sunflower seeds. A blue jay shot out of a tree and disappeared. Bluebirds were more cooperative. And I saw the first brown thrasher in months. A mockingbird also showed up.
