Gloomy gray

Because of the pesky starlings, we hung the suet horizontally with the plastic packaging still on the upper side.  A pine warbler soon figured it out.  A brown headed nuthatch only cared about seeds anyway.  I spotted the male red bellied woodpecker in the trees.  Expecting rain, I did not refill the barkbutter dish which disappointed a myrtle warbler.  A junco hopped around the patio.  Bluebirds ate seeds since there was nothing in the barkbutter dish.  The male red belly figured out the suet.  Alas, so did a starling.  A white breasted nuthatch was content with seeds.  The starling brought friends including a female cowbird and a red-winged blackbird.  A Carolina wren took a turn with the seeds.  A downy enjoyed the suet.  White throats hunted fallen seeds.  A goldfinch got a drink and then hung out on the seed feeder with another.  One of them was curious about the suet.  The other attempted to bully a titmouse but the titmouse just sneaked up behind.  A very little rain spattered the window.  There were ruddy ducks on the creek but the light was too bad and they just blended in with the gray water.
