Dawn was COLD. The tide was out and a matte skin reached almost to the bulkhead. Fortunately there were some barkbutter balls left from yesterday to help the blue jays warm up. The mockingbird was upset that the ant moat was frozen. A Carolina wren headed right to the suet. White throats foraged below the feeders. Crows stayed in the trees. Even at noon there was still ice but the water got rougher and swept it away.
An orange crowned warbler visited the suet. Nuthatches, brown headed and white breasted came for seeds. The female red bellied woodpecker had some seeds too. After the ant moat melted, the female oriole came for a drink. The Carolina wren peered through the window at me. The orange crowned warbler found the jelly but the pine warbler stayed loyal to barkbutter and suet. Cardinals, chickadees, and downy woodpeckers were present throughout the day.
