Much the same

The weather was about the same as yesterday.  The songbirds were excited to find all the feeders full at breakfast.  They emptied the jelly and barkbutter balls.  First the female, then the male pileated showed up.  A pelican made a U turn over the creek but behind too much vegetation for a decent photo.  Blue jays were their usual greedy selves.  So was a starling that sat on the barkbutter balls.  A myrtle warbler worked on the suet when the woodpeckers left. 

Four ruddy ducks slept on the creek  I thought I saw a ruddy duck with the hoodies yesterday but I wasn't sure.  Pine warblers and the oriole eventually arrived.  A mockingbird kept an eye on the feeders.  The female pileated returned for the rest of her interrupted breakfast.
