Still chilly

This week has been colder than average for this time of year.  The female pileated worked on the remains of the suet.  I must put a fresh block out tomorrow.  A blue jay surveyed the yard from atop the feeder post.  A male bluebird surveyed the empty mealworm dish.  The mockingbird was puffed up against the chill.  But eventually I got fresh food set out and happiness was restored. 

At lunch, I saw a swallowtail of some sort fluttering around the cherry and a cabbage white feeding on the money plant.  At supper, I saw the female pileated, the hovering mockingbird, bluebirds, and a brown headed nuthatch.  Of course, the camera was at the other end of the house.
