Brown headed nuthatches were up early as usual. A white throated sparrow was out looking for tasty debris. So was a Carolina wren. A pair of mockingbirds made repeated visits. Butterbutts scurried around. Orioles appreciated the jelly. The creek was beautiful and the day was very warm - 78°.
Finally a male red bellied woodpecker showed up, very red-headed and ready to woo. I'd about decided that the female was a spinster. A dove plodded around. Starlings fought over every kind of food. A crow investigated. In addition to the cabbage white, I saw a sulphur butterfly. The wild cherry began to leaf out. A violet bloomed by the birdbath.
