A bluebird was first in line but warblers were right behind. Blue jays made sure that none of the barkbutter balls escaped. I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of the white breasted nuthatch but the brown headed nuthatches were more persistent. They dominated larger birds. Orioles seemed pleased with the menu.
A white throated sparrow kicked the mulch under the seed feeder. A Carolina wren got a barkbutter ball. The two starlings came back but didn't stay long. Nevertheless, they took precedence over a blue jay.
In the morning, the creek picked up colors but images were abstract. I forgot to bring the camera to lunch but all the same birds returned. Later, a lone hoodie drake paddled upstream. At some point in the day I glimpsed a pelican. Cormorants flew home at twilight.
