The warmer temperature brought an overcast sky . A Carolina wren ventured out in the dismal morning to snack on barkbutter balls. White throats ate anything as long as it had fallen to the ground. One examined the ice in the birdbath. The orange crowned warbler came for jelly.
The cloud cover produced some thin drizzle after lunch when the outdoor thermometer showed 55° and the birdbath finally melted. A Carolina wren joined the white throats. Warblers and at least four bluebirds squabbled over slim pickings because I didn't want to put out food and have rain ruin it. A white breasted nuthatch and a red bellied woodpecker showed up around the time the drizzle began. Herons and pelicans flew over the creek.
