Morning was still misty and I missed a Carolina wren and a brown headed nuthatch. A red belly landed on the post but then spooked and flew off to the trees. I think it was a female. A mockingbird perched in the camellia. White throats hunted in the mulch. One perched on a rose cane. A pale female bluebird watched from the feeder hanger. An egret stood atop a dock post. A blue jay foraged among the daffodils. When I took fresh jelly out, I was surprised to see two small handkerchief spiderwebs revealed by the moist air.
By lunch, the mist had dissipated. The sun was hot though the breeze was not and the highest temperature I saw was 67°. The Carolina wren ate suet. A buzzard swooped low across the yard. I also saw what I'm sure was an osprey but vegetation foiled me. I had better luck with pelicans. A cabbage white flitted across the yard. I found the spiderwebs again and saw loose silk threads blowing from the rose canes. Crows got very excited about something down by the dock but I could not see what. A male bluebird paid a supper visit to the seed feeder.
