We were promised day-long bright sunshine and instead got cold mist and a gray sky. Not only was it overcast, the temperature was well below the prediction. The cloud cover also guaranteed that there would be no viewing of the lunar eclipse last night (actually early this morning). A Carolina wren came for suet, then a downy. The male oriole sat on the dish feeder like he was incubating the jelly. Then a myrtle warbler landed nearby but couldn't get past the oriole.
A bluebird ate seeds. White throats hunted what fell from the feeder. A white breasted nuthatch squeezed between a finch and a wren to get seeds. The nuthatch flew to the ground and the birdbath which was a behavior I had not seen before. Toward evening, a pelican glided low over the flat water as mist gathered. It would have made a great photo but the camera was at the other end of the house.
