We had a bright sunny, but much cooler, day to start the GBBC. I filed two checklists, one for breakfast and one for lunch, because I had meetings in between. The creek glowed at dawn. Blue jays were early. So were starlings. A Carolina wren worked on the suet while an oriole female took a drink above. Then they shared the suet. A myrtle warbler watched. A downy woodpecker wanted a turn with the suet. White throats minded their own business on the ground. At some point the suet cage chain came unhooked but the hook caught and kept it from falling. Instead it swung madly with every movement of a bird. A cormorant, a hoodie, and a ruddy duck fished on the creek. A pine warbler got seeds.
