There were starlings hanging around every time I looked so I never put any food out. Of course there was the suet and the sunflower seed feeder. The brown headed nuthatch was happy with those. Blue jays, titmice, warblers, a robin, and other birds appeared to be eating oak flowers or maybe catching bugs. I saw a junco foraging under the seed feeder. The day was cooler, cloudy, and not so breezy.
A myrtle warbler preened in the dogwood while waiting to defend the suet. The pileated woodpecker returned and the warbler decided to retreat. A downy woodpecker felt the same. When the pileated flew away, he landed on a tree trunk opposite a squirrel. The downy hustled back to the suet only to find a starling had got there first.
A couple of doves wandered around the patio. Bluebirds were not pleased with the lack of barkbutter balls. The dog was feeling enough recovered to wander around the yard. A white throated sparrow emerged from under an azalea bush. The one dogwood once again made puzzle boxes of its petals. The domestic cherry burst into bloom! I begain planting seeds because rain is predicted for overnight.
