Under an overcast sky, leafless branches crisscrossed in shades of gray. Reflections in the placid creek were sharp but muted. A female red bellied woodpecker feasted on suet. She was followed by a male pine warbler. Then a yellow rumped warbler landed on the suet. A bufflehead popped up on the creek.
After lunch, the cat came back to watch for birds again. I saw a yellow jacket hunting through the mulch. White throats foraged and downy woodpeckers ate suet. A male red bellied woodpecker probed bark all the way up a pine trunk. It appeared to be listening for movement. I hoped to see it pluck something out of the tree, but no joy for him or me.
