At first, surfaces were still wet from yesterday's rain but the air was warmer. Birds showed up in waves, bluebirds, two kinds of nuthatch, two kinds of woodpecker, and two kinds of warbler. There were some disputes over possession of the seed feeder perch. White throats ran around as usual. Starlings didn't give up on the suet but they had a hard time eating any. A Carolina wren had no problem. Every once in a while, sunshine got through the clouds. A bird climbed the pine trunk but flew just as I clicked the shutter. I thought it might be a brown creeper but I can't be sure from the blurred photo. Two Carolina wrens split up, one to the seeds and the other to the suet.
A pelican glided in low over the creek and then swooped up to land on the boathouse. Meanwhile a crow prospected along the shoreline. A great blue heron fished below the dam. I caught another pelican flying downstream. Ruddy ducks fished in the middle of the creek. They and buffleheads seem to avoid going close to either shore, unlike hoodies.
