The mostly gray day was still windy. A rash showed up on my left wrist and it was too cold to go soak it in the pool. The male bluebird developed quite an attitude. He chased off a cardinal as well as smaller birds. I guess he was annoyed at having to eat suet because I hadn't got the barkbutter balls out yet.
The pine warbler was back, but not early enough to escape the bluebird. Mockingbirds and blue jays were too big for the bluebird to intimidate, but he tried. The yard crew found a black snake and were all in a tizzy about it.
The sand for the living shoreline has created an inviting path for waterfowl to mosey up into the back yard. A flock of eight mallards congregated there while a family of geese paddled past them.
