Food matters

The creek was quiet but the reflections were muted by the lack of sunshine.  The male pileated woodpecker started off the morning.  At lunch, two song sparrows foraged separately.  The female pileated got a turn at the suet nubbin.  Warblers took their disputes to the air.  Pelicans made passes all morning and early afternoon.

I finally replaced the barkbutter balls and jelly.  That brought bluebirds, a mockingbird, more warblers, orioles, and blue jays.  A white throated sparrow paid a brief visit to the mulch.  Finally the overcast departed.  But after that I saw no more pelicans.  Instead, turtles began to emerge.  But the clouds came back in the late afternoon.
