At breakfast we saw bright, sharp reflections of sunlit trees. The birdbath was frozen. Brown headed nuthatches spent a lot of time at the seed feeder. White throated sparrows were joined by a song sparrow. A starling performed acrobatics to get at the shrinking piece of suet. The nuthatch tried the suet but went back to seeds. It almost fell into the ant moat trying to get a drink.
The short tailed squirrel returned. A mockingbird and the female red bellied woodpecker wanted to know if I was ever going to refill the barkbutter dish. Warblers, of course, continued to fight over suet. A hoodie drake passed upstream. The temperature touched 60° and the sky grew hazy, then cloudy. A male downy worked on the suet despite the warblers.
