3 woodpeckers, 2 cats

The pileated woodpecker was back for breakfast Wednesday.   This frustrated a molting oriole.  Later a mockingbird came for a handout.  

A bluebird watched while starlings argued.  The pileated woodpecker came back mid afternoon.  Then a red bellied woodpecker showed up.  The pileated ignored the red belly which gave up and flew away.  It seemed like the pileated followed it. 

I also saw myrtle warblers, juncos, blue jays, downy woodpeckers, and the tuxedo cat. 

On Thursday, the black cat came up to see the birds.  This annoyed the visiting crows and starlings.  A blue jay made a speech from the top of the post.  I thought if might have been about breakfast.  

The afternoon climbed to over 70° and the warmth brought out the turtles and bees.  The breeze was even warm and pleasant in the shade. The West turned crimson at sunset.
