Aaaaand back to normal winter temperatures. The creek shone with sunlight. The camera was in a mode this morning and I missed some interesting behavior. I pushed a lot of buttons before it went back to taking photos. The female red bellied woodpecker had moved on to the seed feeder by then. Pretty soon, the pileated woodpeckers appeared. A steady queue of blue jays came after I put out more barkbutter balls.
The myrtle warbler that discovered jelly flaunted its yellow rump while on the dish. The male oriole was intimidated by the blue jays. And a blue jay was intimidated by the red bellied woodpecker. Bluebirds rushed away before I got a picture.
White breasted nuthatches wanted a turn at the seed feeder, but the usual feeder birds weren't obliging. A nuthatch tried a barkbutter ball. Eventually they got their seeds. A pine warbler, a white throated sparrow, and a chipping sparrow foraged on the ground. The long-haired yellow cat sauntered past and all the birds flew away. Cloud cover rolled in then drifted away, repeatedly.
