Dark and dank

Morning was a little foggy or misty.  An egret and a great blue heron fished on the creek.  Later, I saw a pelican and a great blue heron fly over the creek and an egret on the lake.  Warblers competed with the downy for suet.  I saw pine and myrtle warblers.  A brown headed nuthatch took on all comers. 

The temperature slowly dropped during a cold, gray day.  Light rain fell at lunchtime.  The male pileated joined us for suet.  A female red bellied woodpecker, bluebirds, and a blue jay grabbed lunch and got away without a photo.  A couple of crows hopped on the pool cover.  Female orioles ate fresh jelly.  A song sparrow gleaned barkbutter crumbs I'd dumped.
