At breakfast, a slug descending the window caught the sunlight. Bluebirds reminded me to get their breakfast ready. The roses were bent by yesterday's rain and wind. Today's wind was just as strong but we had sun instead of rain. Still, the air was chilly even in lulls in the wind. Judging by the ant moat and other containers, we got a lot of rain to finish off April.
A brown thrasher came to prospect for food, but it insisted on staying on the ground. No dangling, swinging food dishes for the thrasher, which left more for the bluebirds. The female pileated woodpecker was back for more suet. Blue jays cleaned out the barkbutter balls while bluebirds preferred mealworms.
In the afternoon I planted seeds I had germinated. When I came back inside, a mockingbird visited.
