The creek was shiny and full of color though the sunlight wasn't strong. I hustled breakfast out for the birds and blue jays were quick to notice. Starlings helped finish off the suet. White throated sparrows hunted elusive crumbs. A mockingbird wasn't pleased to find the barkbutter dish was empty.
I had an afternoon meeting and when I came home a white breasted nuthatch was busy with the seed feeder but it got away before I had the camera ready. Then it came back when I was on the phone and left as I hung up. So no photo. The red bellied woodpecker was not so ungrateful. Crows hung around hoping for more barkbutter balls. A tiger swallowtail flew across my field of view. The female downy and a male house finch argued over the seed feeder. A cardinal won. Finally the female pileated arrived after the suet was all gone.
