A myrtle warbler got an early start on the suet. Blue jays got up early for barkbutter balls. Then that starling brought all his friends and relations to feast. I'd shout and they'd fly up into the trees and watch. I tired of it first. A mockingbird tried to get fed despite them. White throats weren't bothered since the starlings didn't want seeds. Two female orioles watched from a distance.
The female red bellied woodpecker got her seeds. Her size intimidated the other birds but I've never seen her do anything hostile, not like the cardinals that poke and shove. A squirrel tested the feeder's squirrel-proofing. I saw a handful of pine warblers. An oriole got jelly. The female pileated came for lunch. I glimpsed a Carolina wren but didn't get a picture.
