Fish drive

Another cool, windy day, albeit with more sunshine than predicted.  A "gulp" of cormorants drove a school of fish upstream at breakfast.  I wasn't ready with the camera and only caught a straggler out of maybe fifty or more.  I didn't see them return but I think I glimpsed a pelican flying back downstream.

Songbirds gathered at lunchtime.  Bluebirds and pine warblers both wanted barkbutter balls.  A white breasted nuthatch stuck with seeds.  The mockingbird was still thirsty.  A blue jay got some barkbutter balls.  A downy woodpecker and a pine warbler worked on the suet, though not at the same time.  Brown headed nuthatches demanded to share the seeds but a bluebird objected.
