The birdbath water was frozen but I did not see any other signs of frost. The creek shone with reflections and the sky was very blue. White throats were up early today. Pine warblers were very hungry. I spotted the great blue heron that has been flying up into the pines across the creek. After I refilled the barkbutter dish we had streaming blue jays. I also poured water in the birdbath but it started to freeze again. A dove plodded over the pool cover. A couple brown headed nuthatches made repeated seed forays.
At lunch, a lone red winged blackbird devoured suet. I wonder if he got lost from a flock. The bird's back was lightly speckled and the epaulette was ragged yellow so I speculated he was young.
