The creek perfectly reflected the sunlit bank. Today's early bird was a brown headed nuthatch. It hunted in the mulch, behavior I had not seen before. Also in the mulch, a song sparrow joined the white throats during breakfast. A Carolina wren methodically tried each feeder. A mockingbird visited the jelly dish. Blue jays concentrated on the barkbutter balls. A male oriole took a turn with the jelly.
At lunch time a female red belly looked for suet but the cage was empty. She settled for seeds. The "fried egg" jonquils burst into bloom in the afternoon. The outer ring of their petals is white and the central tube is yolk-orange. Journey North shared their
migration maps. Someone saw a hummer today around Knotts Island so I need to figure out where to hang a feeder.
