Sunshine

White throats cleaned the barkbutter dish.  The male red bellied woodpecker plugged away at the suet.  A pair of mockingbirds visited, one had suet, the other jelly.  A miserable-looking, molting myrtle warbler also had jelly.  The chipping sparrow was back and this time it got a turn at the seeds.  It also foraged on the patio.  A Carolina wren got a turn at the suet.  Bluebirds chose seeds.  A male cardinal investigated the jelly.  A dove joined the foraging team.  A blue jay and a bluebird checked out the pool puddles. 

The unfolding hickory leaves looked like green origami.  The oak leaves were fully formed but still looked tender.
