We brought in the pepper plants yesterday. Other plants looked frost-damaged and I saw some white frost on leaves. The cold brought out hungry birds. I couldn't identify the ones flitting through the trees but I think they were warblers. House finches settled on the seed feeder. Juncos landed on the patio and poked through the frosted vegetation. Bluebirds were wary but eventually came to the feeder. A red bellied woodpecker considered the suet. It's been months since I've seen one. A goldfinch debated abandoning veganism for barkbutter. Then a white throated sparrow foraged where the juncos had been. Titmice took whatever they could get. A crow watched from the redwood. A blue jay passed through the yard but didn't come for food. A Carolina wren made the feeder rounds, all before 8AM.
At lunch, two white breasted nuthatches came for seeds and barkbutter balls. Then I had to hurry to a string of meetings that took the rest of the day.
