The creek was as shiny as a metal mirror. Orioles glowed in the sunlight as they snacked on jelly. Blue jays got excited over the fresh barkbutter balls. Then the birdwatching tux cat showed up.
Bluebirds drifted in when the cat left. A Carolina wren arrived in the afternoon. Warblers were around too. Juncos came late to the party. Brown headed nuthatches did too. A song sparrow tucked into the barkbutter crumbs. A starling had difficulty reaching the last bit of suet.
The first daffodils buds opened also a couple of hyacinths. Of course the Carolina jessamine was blooming and attracting honeybees and bumblebees. I found tiny birdseye (speedwell, veronica) flowers in the grass.
The turtles stayed out all afternoon. Pelicans were fishing enthusiastically. A flock of geese begin diving and splashing - I didn't know they could do that! An osprey circled in the blue sky.
