Sunny and warm

Usually by this time of year  we can have either sun or warmth but not both.  Tomorrow the rain is predicted to catch up to the temperature.  A pelican cruised the creek at breakfast while it was still chilly. Later, two females accompanied the bufflehead drake. 

The cat came back.  A pine warbler visited the suet and the barkbutter balls.  A yellow rumped warbler investigated everything.  The oriole ate jelly then came to the window for a look inside.  A female bluebird also checked out the barkbutter balls.  A red bellied woodpecker hunted grubs under the bark on a pine tree.  

Insects took advantage of the warmth.  I saw yellow jackets feeding on the camellia blossoms.  A moth fluttered at the window.
