Goldfinches

The lovely morning was mirrored in the creek.  A very small black panther prowled around the azaleas.  A white throated sparrow foraged by the birdbath while another bathed on the pool cover.  A mockingbird got a drink from the birdbath.  Then a female goldfinch visited the seed feeder.  The female red bellied woodpecker followed.  The female pileated came for suet, not seeds.  

The day warmed to just past 70°.  I saw small butterflies, or maybe moths, flying.  A brown headed nuthatch tried to get to the seeds.  Both mockingbirds returned for lunch.  Bluebirds came for mealworms.  Then the male goldfinch put in an appearance.  He was dressed for summer.
