Warm

The white throated sparrows were up early again but they didn't hang around.  Mid morning, the nuthatches arrived, brown headed, then white breasted.  In the afternoon, a strange object floated on the creek.  It appeared to be a sphere, green on one side, pink on the other, with yellow around the middle blending into the other two colors, and spotted with black pentagons.  

The temperature got up to at least 71° and the afternoon grew cloudy.  A Carolina wren sampled the feeder foods.  A pine warbler also had some barkbutter crumbs.  The mockingbird made its daily visit to the water cooler, aka ant moat.  The sapsucker reappeared on the wildcherry.  Maybe the warm day made the sap flow?  I think it was the same bird I saw with something in its beak, but it could have been a downy.
