The lion and the panther

Frost furred the money plant leaves and the top of the seed feeder.  .  The creek glittered with reflected sunlight.  A fine haze was visible in front of more distant trees.  Pileated woodpeckers are definitely early risers.  Brown headed nuthatches were close behind.  Soon warblers arrived.  A goldfinch landed on the hanger above the ant moat but was soon gone.    Bluebirds checked the barkbutter dish and orioles the jelly dish.  The orioles were in luck, but not the bluebirds.  

A pelican perched on a dock post again.  Another fished next to a cormorant.  The yellow long-haired cat sauntered through the yard.  I think it was more interested in rodents than birds.  At lunch, the black cat ventured out on the pool cover to get a drink from the puddle   It was not pleased when its footsteps filled with water.
