We were late getting the suet replaced and both pileated woodpeckers came to share their distress. The female found dried crumbs where I dumped the soggy barkbutter balls yesterday. The male decided he was entitled to some crumbs as well.
A mockingbird was holding out for fresh barkbutter balls. A blue jay surveyed the aforementioned dried crumbs and gave me a puppydog look. Another blue jay joined the crumb pecking. At lunch, a little skink ventured out to soak up some sun.
Later, the dog and I went out front for a while. I wanted to watch the bluebird house. Unfortunately, there was mowing next door. The bluebirds were unwilling to come to the nest, whether because of me, the dog, or the mower, I don't know. They perched in the pecan tree with beaks full of food for their offspring.
When we finally got the suet replaced, the woodpeckers came back. Then a pine warbler swooped in to have some suet too. A blue jay insisted on barkbutter balls.
