Mist

I thought it was too damp for barkbutter balls or mealworms so all the birds had to eat was suet and seeds.  A mockingbird behaved strangely on the pool edge, bouncing and flashing.  A Carolina wren made a late breakfast visit to forage under the feeders.  Bluebirds worked on suet. 

I had an appointment in South Norfolk and passed through areas of fog in the afternoon.  When I got home, I toured the flowers.  There were red buds on one gladiolus spear.  The lantana and the crocosima started flowering and two buds on the white lily popped open.  The sunflower grew another inch.  

A feisty titmouse wanted a fair share of the food and even outfaced a nuthatch.  Chickadees came ins a steady stream.  Cardinals were more sporadic.  And the brown headed nuthatches got plenty of seeds.  A pine warbler was able to get a little suet.
