The day was warmer, but gray, which the creek mirrored. A white breasted nuthatch hopped around the patio, a behavior I had not seen before. However, I did not get a good photo. The tan morph white throat was back. The two mockingbirds hung around all day. They didn't appear to be getting along. A blue jay tackled the suet. So did a bluebird, but then the bluebird changed to the seed feeder.
A yellow rumped warbler in breeding plumage bathed on the pool cover. Then a white throat took a turn. The male red bellied woodpecker had so much red on his face chest, and belly, he looked sunburned. The goldfinch pair showed up. A pair of cardinals courted and disputed access to the feeder with another pair. A brown headed nuthatch also wanted seeds. The female pileated took a big helping of suet.
One old turtle warmed up on the log on the lake. A cormorant fished on the creek and an occasional mallard drake paddled past. I startled a great blue heron and saw an egret landing. Something big perched up in the neighbor's pine. That's a spot osprey like.
