Morning was not so cold but still windy. Pelicans cruised over the ice-free creek at low tide. The feeders were quiet, then I noticed the black and white cat birdwatching. After it gave up, songbirds began to appear. Pine warblers started on the suet, soon joined by a chickadee. The mockingbird went back to the jelly. A white breasted nuthatch braved a cardinal for a seed. A squirrel scrambled after hackberries. A Carolina wren investigated the window. White throats looked for spilled food.
At lunch the temperature rose above 60
°! A mockingbird stared into the window. A squirrel sat on the feeder roof and scrubbed its face. It got a drink from the ant moat and showed it could cling to the post with only hind feet.
