Sunshine made lovely reflections at breakfast. The brown headed nuthatches were up early. Pine warblers greeted the sun. Blue jays and bluebirds soon noticed the fresh barkbutter balls. A white throated sparrow watched from the bench. A female oriole was eating jelly when a male arrived and demanded possession. A white breasted nuthatch tried to get some seeds but the house finches weren't sharing. The red bellied woodpecker sneaked in for barkbutter balls but finally I caught her on camera. A chickadee tried to get nourishment from the empty suet cage.
Pelicans passed over the creek and occasionally one plunged after a fish. A surfboard appeared on our dock. Great blue herons had a tiff over territory. A pair of hooded mergansers paddled upstream. The winning heron preened its ruffled feathers.
After lunch, K installed a fresh block of suet. A starling enjoyed a barkbutter ball. So did the bluebirds. A Carolina wren scavenged beneath.
