The warm days spoiled me. Today's temperature barely reached 60°. The female pileated woodpecker returned for breakfast suet. A blue jay got very excited about something in the mulch. It required hammering open - probably a sunflower seed. Another blue jay watched from the shepherd's crook. A mockingbird was upset that I had not yet ventured out into the cold to deliver breakfast. The bird's feathers were inflated against the chill.
By lunch time, the bluebirds wanted to be fed, but by then much of what I had put out was gone. Brown headed nuthatches reappeared. A male red bellied woodpecker took over the suet. The clouds were dissipating and a skink ventured out to get a little sun.
