The prediction was for low clouds, fog, and general gloom but that was gone by 9am. It was cold but not windy, good bird watching weather. The new cat ambled across the patio early, but I didn't see any other predators. Pine warblers were particularly interested in the dish of mealworms. Bluebirds made the rounds of feeders. Blue jays would really rather have had barkbutter balls. The orange crowned warbler went straight to the jelly.
Fuzzy clouds blew past and out to sea. A Carolina wren picked through the dish but didn't seem pleased. Pine warblers tried to get past bluebirds to the mealworms. A titmouse clung to the brick wall, seeming interested in a cavity in the grout. I thought I saw a butterbutt but couldn't be sure. A white throat foraged under the seed feeder. Juncos were also hard to catch on camera. The two female orioles showed up for mealworms. A pair of house finches kissed beaks.
A flicker landed up in the wild cherry. Then a male red bellied woodpecker chased a downy away from the suet. He had a noticeably red belly.
