GBBC day 3

The sun shone on the frozen creek and a cold wind pushed fluffy clouds out to sea.  I poured hot water in the birdbath but it froze before a dove could get a drink.  I also scattered lots of protein.  The warbler continued its persecution of the titmouse.  The red bellied woodpecker and the downy pair came for suet, which caused the warbler to do a lot of frustrated beak wiping.  The Carolina wren explored the excavated pipe and came out the other end.  Juncos and sparrows poked through the mealworms. 


Below the dam I saw egrets, a great blue heron, hooded mergansers, and geese.  A buzzard hunted for a frozen dinner and a couple of gulls flew over.  Later in the day, more geese landed and slid on the ice.
